awarded. It should not be assumed that the 5-year maintenance requirements will take place
5-years after the award.
Additionally, bidders shall list a price per hour per job classification for normal workdays
Monday through Friday, 7:00 am to 5:30 pm; emergency work, which is comprised of nights,
weekends, and designated holidays shall be billed at 1.5 times the normal hourly rate.

an overtime rate for the services from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm. Any specialized equipment
required to perform work requested by the County shall be billed at cost plus 10% markup.
