Pricing shall be submitted on the county's provided form with separate line items for equipment and labor, including hourly rates for general labor, supervisory labor, subcontractor labor, after-hours labor, material disposal, permits and inspection fees, and profit markups. A contingency amount of $19,000 is included for unforeseen expenses but requires pre-approval from the project manager and is not guaranteed payment.

The contract term is one year with the option of one one-year renewal, contingent upon county budget approval and best interest determination.
