HUFF CREEK WATERSHED RESERVOIR MAINTENANCE

The Huff Creek Watershed Reservoir Maintenance project, issued by the Greenville County Procurement Services Division on October 30, 2026, seeks a contractor to address site access issues and dam integrity concerns caused by vegetation growth and erosion. The scope of work involves vegetation management, erosion repair, and site restoration across three specific locations: Huff 1B, 3A, and 5B. Key activities include clearing access drives to a minimum width of 12 feet and height of 10 feet, treating stumps with triclopyr, removing fallen trees from auxiliary spillways, and regrading approximately 60 linear feet of access drives. The project also requires the application of critical area seeding to approximately 0.75 acre of disturbed land and the proper disposal of woody debris. Bids are due by November 20, 2026, via the County's electronic procurement portal. Evaluation is based on a pass/fail scoring method across three equally weighted categories: responsiveness to the invitation for bid, cost, and references, with a heavy emphasis on the contractor's reputation and past performance. Awarded contractors must provide a performance and payment bond equal to the total contract price within 15 business days of the award and maintain it for one year post-completion. The contract includes a 90-calendar day completion window from the notice to proceed, with liquidated damages of 250 dollars per day for delays. Payment is handled via monthly invoices, subject to a 10 percent withholding until the project is satisfactorily completed. All work must comply with ADA Title II guidelines, OSHA safety regulations, and the South Carolina Illegal Immigration Reform Act.
