Vendors must have a minimum of two years' experience and supply erosion control blankets, turf reinforcement mats, scour protection materials, Erosion Eels, wattles, hydro mulch, sediment control products, stormwater inlet protection products, and related accessories. All materials must be new, unused, current production, and free from defects.

Deliveries are restricted to normal business hours (8 a.m. to 5 p.m. CST) and cannot occur on City-observed holidays. The vendor must provide all materials, labor, transportation, delivery, loading, unloading, equipment, and tools at no additional cost to the City.

The City will evaluate proposals on best value criteria; proposers must achieve at least 50% of available evaluation points excluding cost to remain eligible for award.
