StRAP Funded Debris Management And Removal RFQ

Craven County (“COUNTY”) seeks to establish primary contract for debris management and removal and other clean-up activities associated with vegetative, construction demolition debris (C&D), and post-consumer debris deposited or floated in the identified stream segments of Ernul Drainage Canal and Half Moon Creek within the jurisdictional boundary Craven County. Proposing firms (“CONTRACTOR”) must, at a minimum, have performed at least five (5) debris removal/clearing, operations as a prime or subcontractor and provide references for the communities where these operations took place within the last five (5) years.

The resulting contracts are between Craven County and the successful contractor(s) whose proposals are deemed to be most advantageous to the County. It is the County’s intent that these contracts be North Carolina StRAP Program compliant, and that this procurement be executed in accordance with StRAP Program recommendations and requirements to ensure the County is eligible for the maximum eligible reimbursement provided for in accordance with the before referenced policies and procedures. The State of North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services is not a participant in this contract and as such has no authority to direct or impede Contractor’s resources, that authority lies solely with Craven County or its authorized representatives.

The resulting contract term will be for one (1) year with the option to extend the contract for one additional year. The one additional year will be extended upon mutual agreement of both parties. Price adjustments for the resulting contract schedule rates will be considered prior to the one (1) year renewal option. The price adjustment shall not exceed the average of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Areas during the twelve months prior to renewal or five percent (5%), whichever is less. CONTRACTOR shall submit the requested price adjustments to COUNTY’S designated contract administrator thirty days prior to the contract renewal date.  All work set forth in the Scope of Work must be approved by personnel authorized by the County Manager to act as the “COUNTY DEBRIS MANAGER” or the COUNTY DEBRIS MANAGER’S authorized representative.
