Bidders must provide the make, model, and horsepower rating of their equipment in their submittal. Pricing must be submitted as a per-acre rate, inclusive of all labor, materials, and mobilization costs. Payment will be issued as a single lump-sum final payment following a successful project inspection; partial payments are not permitted.
