Bark & Wood Chip Mulch

This sealed‑bid procurement by Snohomish County sought suppliers for four types of mulch (bark, wood‑chip, dark fine bark, and dark fine mulch) totaling 5,000 cubic yards for road‑maintenance use. Three vendors were awarded portions of the work based on a “lowest in‑place” cost formula that adds haul time to unit prices. The contract runs for one year with the possibility of up to four additional one‑year renewals, and all mulch must meet Washington State Department of Transportation specifications. • Scope: Supply of 1,000 CY bark mulch, 2,000 CY wood‑chip mulch, 1,000 CY dark fine bark, and 1,000 CY dark fine mulch. • Evaluation: Unit‑price plus haul‑time formula; multiple awards possible. • Requirements: Compliance with WSDOT M‑41‑10 mulch specs, delivery to three county‑designated pickup sites, acceptance of county PCARD without fees.
