Subcontracting is permitted, and the Contractor must submit a Subcontractor Minority Status Report with each invoice. The Commission is committed to supporting Florida's diverse business industry. The solicitation does not allow for bidding only the destruction and disposal portion of the work, as the awarded contractor will be responsible for the entire removal process.
