Due to the project's proximity to the Spokane River, environmental planning and permitting has been completed including a shoreline exemption and SEPA. See the specifications for more information on shoreline permits obtained as well as the Inadvertent Discovery Plan & Shoreline Impact Assessment. A grading permit application was submitted to Spokane County on October 20, 2023. Spokane County Parks will pay for said permits and provide them to the contractor when ready. It will be the contractor's responsibility to comply with all permitting requirements. Spokane County Parks has completed an application for coverage under Ecology's Construction Stormwater General Permit and the permit will be transferred to the contractor. Despite cautionary notes in several places in the bid document we continue to receive bid deposit surety bonds whose forms contain language that may not meet the requirements of the specifications. The statutes will not allow the county to consider a bid that has a deficient or defective bid deposit surety bond. We urge bidders to use the bid deposit surety bond form contained in the bid documents. The above is just one important item contained in the bid documents. Bid responses are extremely important to the county and a great deal of work for the bidders to prepare. To minimize the possibility of submitting a non-responsive bid please take the time to read and understand the entire bid document.
