The scope includes removal, sorting, documentation, and lawful disposal of various debris types, with performance measured through strict standards, warranties, and reporting obligations. The contract duration is up to three years with potential renewal for an additional three, covering all FDC facilities statewide, with specific service locations listed in attachments. Pricing must be all-inclusive, submitted via a structured Price Sheet, with line items for different debris types and response times, and all costs for packaging and shipping included. The award process follows a lowest-price technically acceptable approach, evaluating bids for responsiveness, responsibility, and price, with no subjective weighting or risk ratings. Bids must be complete, conform to all specifications, and include all required documentation, such as certifications and certifications of compliance with statutes. The Department reserves rights to modify service locations and scope via written amendments and emphasizes strict adherence to security, conflict of interest, and diversity requirements. Delivery and performance are to be executed statewide, with the Department conducting inspections and audits, and the contractor guaranteeing work for 60 days post-completion. Payment procedures involve invoicing in arrears through the Department’s financial systems, with prompt subcontractor payments mandated. Overall, the contract mandates rigorous compliance, detailed documentation, and a clear understanding of the statutory and procedural requirements to ensure effective disaster debris management aligned with federal and state standards.
