Can that be submitted <br />if we are chosen as the successful bidder and upon contract execution? Also, is it a City or <br />County Business Tax receipt that will be required? <br /> <br />Yes, this can be taken care of after NTP. <br /> <br /> Bid line items #2&3 required that the price include tipping fees. Would the City consider <br />excluding the tipping fees from the price and paying those fees as a “pass through” item? <br />This requires the contractor to pay the fees at the time of dumping, based on the actual fees <br />at the facility, and billing those fees back to the City, without markup. The City then claims <br />reimbursement on the subsequent project worksheets. This is industry standard and does <br />not lock the City or the Contractor into a cost that could go up or down over the term of the <br />contract. Further, we have no way of knowing what facilities will actually be available to
