It is highly recommended that Bidders use a four-wheel drive vehicle with sufficient ground

clearance when attending the site visit, due to uneven terrain and potentially soft ground conditions.

For Bidders who do not have access to such a vehicle,

the District will provide limited seating in a District vehicle.

Attachment 8 – Waiver and Release for District Vehicle Occupancy will need to be completed

by each rider in a District vehicle. Copies will be available at the Site Visit.

Bidders may also be asked to consolidate vehicles with others, as necessary.

All interested parties are recommended to be represented at the Non-Mandatory Pre-Bid Conference and the

Non-Mandatory Site Visit. The purpose of the conference is to allow potential bidders an opportunity to present

questions to staff and obtain clarification of the requirements of the RFB and to view the site. Because the

District considers such a conference and site visit to be important to understanding the RFB requirements,

representation at the pre-bid conference and the site visit is recommended to attend as a bidder. Minutes of

the conference and site visit will not be created. The site visit will immediately follow the pre-bid conference at

the same location.
