Timber RFP.pdf

The document outlines the guidelines and requirements for submitting a proposal for a forest thinning, replanting, and timber sales program. It emphasizes that any verbal explanations before the proposal opening are not binding. The County will select the most advantageous proposal, but the RFP itself does not constitute an offer or agreement. The County reserves the right to reject proposals, abandon the project, or re-advertise for new proposals. Proposals become public records upon award recommendation or after ten days of opening. The County will not award contracts to individuals on the "Convicted Vendor List" due to public entity crimes. The document also covers ethics, the cone of silence during the bidding process, permits and taxes, bid protests, risk of loss, termination clauses, late proposals, and the requirement of a non-collusion affidavit. It details the information needed in the proposal submission, including company details, experience, references, approach to the project, costs for services, and revenue sharing. The document also includes forms for non-collusion and non-discrimination affidavits that must be submitted with the bid response.
