Scope includes re‑grading channel slopes, tree and debris removal, erosion control, fill placement, sodding, vegetation trimming, fencing, and related incidental items. Bidders must submit electronically via OpenGov, meet the September 23 2026 question deadline, and file their bids by September 24 2026 (with a secondary October 20 2026 deadline for step‑2 submissions). No mandatory pre‑conference or site visit is required. The County will award to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.
