                                        GENERAL PROVISIONS

A. GENERAL:

The Brown County Public Works Department will receive sealed quotes for hauling construction materials on an
as needed basis for various project locations throughout Brown County.

Quotes shall be submitted on forms provided by, and addressed to, the Brown County Public Works Department,
2198 Glendale Avenue, Green Bay, Wisconsin, 54303, and marked "2021 Truck Hauling Services". Quotes will
be received until 2:00 p.m., on Wednesday, December 9, 2020, at the above-mentioned address. These
specifications are a part of the proposal and must remain attached to the same.

Hereinafter, the Brown County Public Works Department will be referred to as the “Owner” and the successful
contractor awarded the contract is to be the “Contractor” and the “Engineer” will be an employee of Brown
County who is to carry out the project construction management.

Quotes shall be on specifications as herein furnished and shall not be altered.

Owner reserves the right to reject any or all quotes submitted, or to accept any part or combination thereof, to
waive any technicalities, and to accept any quotes deemed most advantageous to Brown County, including the
use of smaller quantities at the same cost per quoted price.

Should the U.S. Government, by its action, affect or prevent a vendor from fulfillment of the terms of the quote,
the vendor should immediately furnish proof of same in writing. Upon receiving such proof, vendor will be released
from the contract.

Brown County is exempt from Federal Excise Tax, but if there is a tax, it shall be shown in the quote.

B. WITHDRAWAL OF QUOTES:

Quotes may be withdrawn by written request received from the bidder or their agent prior to the time fixed for
opening of quotes, without prejudice to the right of the bidder to file a new bid. Withdrawn bids will be returned
unopened. Negligence on the part of the bidder in preparing his/her bid confers no right for withdrawal of the
bid after it has been opened.

C. METHOD OF AWARD:

Brown County will accept all quotes to complete the work. Typically, qualified Contractors will be chosen
on an as needed basis starting with the lowest quote received. If additional trucks are needed, typically
the next lowest qualified Contractor will be selected until the appropriate amount of trucks are secured for
each instance.

A Contractor may request to be removed from the call list on a temporary basis when other commitments
prevent the contractor from providing trucks.

This is not an exclusive contract. The County specifically reserves the right to concurrently contract with
other companies for similar work, if the County deems such an action to be in the County’s best interest.
The County may choose not to award work to a Contractor due to high quoted prices. The County may
remove or bypass contractors from the qualified contractor list due to safety concerns, unresponsiveness,
low productivity, poor driver performance and attitude, or for any other reason deemed necessary by the
County.

3. TRUCK HAULING SERVICES:

  A. Description
  This special provision describes providing hauling services on an as needed basis for various project
  locations throughout Brown County during the 2021 construction season, as specified in the State of
  Wisconsin, Department of Transportation, Standard Specifications for Highway and Structure
  Construction, 2020 Edition, and as hereinafter provided.

  Construction materials to be hauled include, but are not limited to, removal materials (pavement, culvert,
  bridge), common excavation material, borrow, base aggregate dense, breaker run, riprap, millings, and
  HMA pavement.

  B. Truck Requirements
  Quad axle dump trucks shall be used. The bed shall be clean of any debris and contaminates, and shall
  be reasonably smooth and free of any major indentations or depressions. All trucks shall be equipped
  with a tarp to cover the truck bed.

  C. Haul Route
  Obtain approval from the County for all proposed haul routes between the project and haul sites. Utilize
  roadways on the county highway system and state highway system whenever possible. Minimize use of
  City, Village and Town roadways as haul routes.

  D. Reporting to Work
  Report to the assigned construction site or haul site as directed by the County with a fully fueled truck.
  Work time will start when the Contractor reports to the project site at the time agreed to by the County,
  and work time will end when the Contractor leaves the project site at the time agreed to by the County. If
  starting or ending the day at a haul site, work time will begin at the “time loaded” and end at the “time

2021 TRUCK HAULING SERVICES

Hours between the start and end time on days committed to hauling for Brown County must be dedicated
entirely to Brown County work.

Work under this contract is weather-dependent, so the schedule may change due to weather conditions.
Coordinate with the County on days of inclement weather to determine if the work will be cancelled or if
the schedule will be changed.

E. Time Keeping
Document hours worked by completing a load tracking form (format of the form to be approved by the
County) and by providing daily load slips (showing the time loaded and time dumped). Submit the daily
load tracking form to the County project foreman for approval at the end of each working day.

Avoid refueling during the work shift. If refueling is necessary, subtract the time needed to refuel from the
documented daily hours, unless circumstances for refueling are warranted and approved by the County.

F. Measurement
The County will measure the number of documented hours acceptably completed.

G. Payment
Payment is full compensation for providing the dump truck, driver, fuel, and all incidentals necessary to
complete the contract work.

Costs of the construction materials and dump fee costs will be the responsibility of the County.
