Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance with minimum limits of $1,000,000 per occurrence and auto liability coverage of $1,000,000 per accident. The contract is structured for a three-year period from February 19, 2020, through February 18, 2023, with automatic one-year renewal options. Pricing will be submitted on a unit price basis per linear foot, with seven distinct line items covering initial sweeping, monthly sweeping cycles for years one through three, and large debris removal services.
