The total contract amount is not to exceed $12,900,000, with hourly rates varying based on equipment type and service time (regular hours, overtime/weekends, and holidays). There are no specific incumbent vendors mentioned in the documentation.

Contractors must comply with prevailing wage requirements, demonstrate proper licensing, and maintain equipment to specified standards. The initial contract term is three calendar years, with potential renewal for two additional years, and no price increases will be allowed during the first contract year. Subsequent price increases will require 180-days advance notice and documented proof of cost increases.
