The project is funded through a FEMA grant with specified quantities, and Letcher County reserves the right to accept or reject any or all bids. Unit pricing must be all-inclusive of labor, equipment, materials, and supplies, with cost increases permitted only through county-approved changes. Payment is contingent upon work completion, receipt and reconciliation of all documentation by the Grants Management Team, and final Fiscal Court approval.
