There will be no charge or reimbursement claims for telephone and or fax calls, postage, mileage, parking, and incidental photocopies. We do, however, charge for additional insured certificates, messenger services, overnight mail costs, and copies of reports, documents, notices, and support material in excess of five (5) copies. These costs are charged at actual expense plus a 10% surcharge.
As stated in the request for bids, the City's total contract amount will not exceed $25,000.00 dollars.
However, based upon our discussions with City Staff and review of the anticipated work and number of anticipated applications, the contract to complete the services described will exceed the budget amount provided in the City RFP.
Our team will be available to begin work with the City of Riverside during the month of November 2023 and continue this effort through November 2024 or however long is needed.
Scope of Work
In addition to the typical cannabis administration processes that we have detailed in this proposal, Tierra West will be prepared to manage the City's stated Scope of Work that will generally consist of, but will not necessarily be limited to, the following:
• Communication and coordination internally and externally; • Respond to emails and phone calls;
