Potential Bidders who attended the mandatory pre-bid walk-through may submit written questions regarding the bid by February 26, 2024. All questions should be emailed in writing to lorena.ambriz@fire.ca.gov. NO QUESTIONS will be entertained after February 26, 2024. Bidder must have, at time of bid submittal and for the duration of the contract, a valid, current C-61/D-49 Tree Service license issued by the Contractors State License Board (CSLB), for the type of work to be performed. Bidder shall obtain, pay for and maintain, in good standing, all necessary licenses and permits to accomplish the work. Bidders will be considered non-responsive unless proper licensing requirements are met. An invalid license will result in rejection of the bid. Positive verification of a valid license issued by the CSLB will be performed by CAL FIRE (reference Business and Professions Code Section 7028.15). Payment Bond (STD 807) Requirement: If the successful bidder's bid exceeds $25,000, the successful bidder shall furnish a Payment Bond for not less than 100 percent (100%) of the total amount payable by the terms of this Agreement. The Payment Bond is due prior to the start date of work. No work may commence without receipt of a valid Payment Bond. The Payment Bond must be in effect at all times for the duration of the Agreement. If the Payment Bond expires during the term of the Agreement, a new Payment Bond must be provided to the CAL FIRE representative not less than 10 business days prior to its expiration. Failure to maintain a Payment Bond for the full term of this Agreement will be grounds for termination for default in addition to other legal remedies CAL FIRE may have. Inadequate or lack of a Payment Bond does not negate the Contractor's obligations under this Agreement.
