Work includes both scheduled monthly maintenance tasks and responsive unscheduled work.

Bid prices must include all labor, materials, equipment, and management for monthly maintenance and unscheduled work, submitted separately for the initial contract year. Awards will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder. Questions are due September 18, 2026. The County reserves the right to add, delete, or change service locations with cost adjustments negotiated if scope or frequency changes materially.
