Based on the bid tabulation, four vendors submitted responses ranging from $40 to $85 per tire, yielding total contract costs between $40,000 and $85,000. The General Conditions establish a three-year contract term commencing upon award, with the County holding an option to extend for up to two additional one-year renewal terms, not to exceed five years total.

Best rating of A− or better, financial size category class VII or greater.
