The procurement includes several mandatory compliance requirements for potential bidders, including prevailing wage rate adherence, workers' compensation registration, and New York State Labor Department regulations. Vendors must provide proof of insurance, demonstrate equal employment opportunity standards, and comply with Iranian Energy Sector Divestment and sexual harassment prevention laws. The county reserves the right to award bid items to multiple vendors based on project variables. Additional billable costs may include tack coat, mobilization, and potential flagman expenses. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed, the comprehensive compliance requirements suggest a preference for established, legally compliant contractors. The procurement allows for flexible vendor selection, with the potential to engage multiple suppliers depending on specific project needs and geographical considerations. Though a precise budget range is not specified, the multi-tiered pricing structure suggests adaptability for projects of varying scales and complexities.
