Please submit a completed bid form (Attachment 9) to Arianna Camponuri via email to acamponuri@openspace.org by 5:00 p.m. on February 25, 2025.

The lowest total base bid will be considered the lowest responsive bidder. In the case of a tie, the award would be based on a coin toss. A budget of $40,000 has been set, which includes the cost of General Conditions, mobilization(s), and site treatments. For all bid items, contractor will be compensated for the actual number of hours worked on the preserves treating weeds. Estimates are provided to assist the contractor in projecting typical work. Actual acres, hours, target weeds, cover, and specific locations may vary at time of treatment to respond to actual field conditions and contractor must be able to adjust to actual field conditions. Contractors who bid on this project should expect that the District may change the number of hours to add or deduct work from the scope of work at District’s discretion in order to meet the project budget.

Prior to submitting a proposal, the Bidder shall thoroughly examine the Contract Documents (Attachment 10) and consider the site conditions and scope of work. Any questions, concerns, errors or ambiguities noted by the Bidder during said examination shall immediately be called to the attention of the District Representative prior to a submission of a bid. The District will issue addenda with interpretation of the cited questions, concern, error or ambiguity. No subsequent claim for extra work will be allowed on account of claimed misunderstanding of the meaning or intent of the Contract Documents, site conditions, or any other documents included in this Bid Package if the item occasioning the claim appeared in, or was inferable from said documents for bidding purposes. 

Examination of Site
Attention is directed to Bidder’s obligation to examine the Work site; compare the site with the Plans and Specifications; determine any site variation that affects the Bid; and investigate the conditions of existing clearances, restrictions, or limitations that affect access to the Work. Bidder’s failure to do any and all of the above shall not be a basis for claim of additional monies or extension of time.
