All steel must be manufactured in the United States and certified as prime, rust, and scale-free, with a Notarized Certificate of Compliance required at shipment. Vendors must meet Federal Highway Administration breakaway sign support requirements and provide one-year warranties against defects. Quantities shown are approximate for bid evaluation purposes; the County reserves the right to increase or decrease quantities by approximately 20 percent.

The contract term runs one year beginning September 19, 2027, with up to four additional one-year renewal options at the County's discretion. Delivery costs must be included in the bid price, and pricing must remain firm for one year from the contract's effective date.
