driveways, sidewalks, curbs, steps, and catch basin collars. Maps and/or photographs of each site
are included, and sites will also be marked with orange marking paint to highlight specific work
areas.
2. General Specifications
A. The specifications listed in this Request for Proposal ("RFP") are intended to serve as
general guidelines, unless otherwise noted, to be followed by contractors in preparing
a proposal and during the ensuing project. These specifications are intended to list the
major tasks to be completed and the Selected Contractor ("Contractor") shall be
responsible for completing all other tasks required to achieve a first-class project, even
if each specific task is not listed herein.
B. The work shall be priced on a per square foot basis for each site with a grand total as
outlined on the included Proposal Form for the removal, disposal, and supply of new
concrete, placed and finished, at a depth matching the existing concrete. Further, as
outlined on the Proposal Form, contractors shall provide supplemental unit pricing on
a per square foot basis for the same work at depths of eight (8), six (6) inches, and four
(4) inches to be used as a reference for add-on or as-needed work.
C. If contractors determine any concrete areas described in this RFP can be adequately
repaired or patched, rather than requiring total replacement, the contractors shall

D. The Contractor shall provide all labor, materials, and equipment necessary to perform
the work.

located at each site so that normal operations may be maintained. The Contractor may
complete the work in separate phases to allow for continued site access. Work may be
completed on weekdays or weekends, unless noted otherwise for certain sites, so long
as all safety precautions are taken to prevent injury to any persons or visitors to the
facilities and the work does not disrupt the operations of the facilities. Upon award of
the work, the work schedule will be determined by the County and Contractor.
F. All new work shall be identical to existing concrete, including edge, width, thickness,
finish, etc. If contractors determine existing concrete width, thickness, etc. would not
be appropriate for the application, contractors shall include pricing for identical
RFP Page 1

replacement as requested and include separate pricing for the alternate option work in
the comment section of the Proposal Form or as a separate attachment.
G. Concrete shall be six (6) bag mix, air entrained, and batched for this type of installation,
with welded wire mesh or metal bar reinforcement appropriate for the application and
in accordance with industry standards.

L. The sites shall be cleared of all forms, debris, and other materials upon completion of

property (including concrete mix spilling onto adjoining surfaces). The Contractor shall
be responsible for the repair of any damage to surrounding areas such as lawns,
sidewalks, curbs, etc.
N. The Contractor shall be responsible for obtaining any required permits and contacting
Miss Digg 811, if necessary.
O. In all circumstances, the work shall be of first-class quality and performed by qualified
personnel who are skilled in the respective trade and knowledgeable about the products
and equipment being used.
3. Proposals and Contract Award
A. Contractors shall submit proposals and bid pricing to the County using the Proposal
Form included with this RFP. Proposals shall take into consideration all such conditions
as may affect the work under this contract. The submittal of a proposal automatically
implies that the contractor has examined the project sites and is completely familiar
with the location, scope, and nature of the work and of the equipment, materials, and
labor required to complete the project. A contractor's failure to conduct site visits will
not result in additional claims for compensation from the County and may subject the
agreement to termination.
B. The County may, in its discretion, award a contract to complete all components or a
selection of the components of the work listed within this RFP.

and Social Security Laws shall be filed with the County and kept in full force and effect

and available under the circumstances. The insurance must be effected under valid and
enforceable policies, issued by recognized, responsible Michigan insurers that are well-rated
by national rating organizations.
Insurance policies must name the Contractor as the insured, along with the County as

pay on behalf of, indemnify, and hold harmless the County of Monroe, its elected and

including all costs connected therewith, and for any damages which may be asserted, claimed
