The anticipated material amounts to be delivered for each District are as follows, but may be less: 400 cubic yards of black dirt for District I 150 cubic yards of black dirt for District IIa 200 cubic yards of black dirt for District II 300 cubic yards of black dirt for District III Hinckley 150 cubic yards of black dirt for District III Lake Lena Cost of materials and delivery must be valid through September 30, 2023. Contractor should have a stockpile of 160 cubic yards so that materials can be accessible for delivery in the Spring and help minimize delays caused by wet conditions. Timely Delivery Expectations: Contractor must deliver dirt to the requested site(s) by the date requested for delivery; or schedule an alternate date for delivery with the Earthworks Supervisor. If the contractor fails to complete a requested delivery by the date scheduled with the Earthworks Supervisor and the request was made 48 (forty-eight) hours in advance; the first two (2) occurrences will result in written warnings. Upon the third such failure to provide delivery as previously described, the contractor will be considered in default and their contract will be cancelled immediately with payment due only for any dirt delivered to date. **The Band reserves the right to reject any bid that it is unable to collect at the Onamia post office by the bid deadline date and time, provided that the Band has made diligent and reasonable efforts to collect the bid.
