The scope covers removing approximately 570 linear feet of existing gutter and installing an equivalent length of new 24-gauge commercial box gutter.

All contractors and subcontractors must comply with E-Verify requirements and equal employment opportunity provisions.

Price is considered but is not the sole determining factor. Invoices are paid net 30 days after review and approval by the County's Designated Representative, Kenneth Bridges. The County may cancel and terminate the contract without penalty on 30 days written notice.

Proposers must submit one original and four copies, limited to 30 double-sided pages, to the Durham County Purchasing Division at 201 East Main Street, 7th Floor, Room 703, Durham, NC 27701. Required forms include a non-collusion affidavit, E-Verify compliance affidavit, vendor application, and W-9.
