Qualified contractors must maintain Commercial General Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 and Automobile Liability Insurance of at least $1,000,000 throughout the contract term, along with workers' compensation insurance as required by law. Vendors must attend a mandatory pre-bid meeting and sign an attendance sheet, with failure to attend resulting in automatic bid disqualification. Technical questions were due by September 5, 2017 at 5:00 p.m. EST, and sealed bids were due by September 7, 2017 at 10:30 a.m. EST, with submissions directed to the Environmental Protection Office of Administration, 601 57th Street SE, Charleston, West Virginia 25304.
