DocuSign Envelope ID:4D7650A1-DEC F-4F10-A64A-44A2E32E000A <br /> The selected Provider will be expected to obtain all required plumbing permits through the <br /> Town of Chapel Hill or the Town of Carrboro Permits and Inspections Divisions, depending <br /> on the jurisdictional area in which the work is being performed, prior to commencement of <br /> work. Applicable permit fees for all plumbing services performed under this contract will be <br /> waived. The Provider will also be expected to schedule and coordinate all code-specific <br /> inspections of the completed work with the Town of Chapel Hill or the Town of Carrboro <br /> Permits and Inspections Divisions, depending on the jurisdictional area in which the work is <br /> being performed. <br /> REQUIRED EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFICATIONS <br /> Orange County is seeking to retain local professional plumbers/contractors who are <br /> currently licensed with the North Carolina State Contractors Licensing Board and have the <br /> experience and resources to successfully complete the project. The Provider's licensing <br /> credentials (i.e. license type, license number, license expiration dates, etc.) will be cross- <br /> checked and verified by Orange County and Town staff prior to contract award. <br /> Insurance <br /> Provider shall obtain, at its sole expense, Commercial General Liability Insurance, <br /> Automobile Insurance, Workers' Compensation Insurance, and any additional insurance as <br /> may be required by County's Risk Manager as described in the Orange County Risk Transfer <br /> Policy and Orange County Minimum Insurance Coverage Requirements (each document is <br /> incorporated herein by reference and available at <br /> http://www.orangecountync.gov/departments/purchasing division/contracts.php). If the Orange <br /> County Risk Manager determines additional insurance coverage is required such additional <br /> insurance shall consist of N/A (if no additional insurance required mark N/A as being not <br /> applicable). Provider shall not commence work until such insurance is in effect and <br /> certification thereof has been received by the Orange County Risk Manager. <br /> Living Wage <br /> Orange County is committed to providing its employees with a living wage and encourages <br /> agencies it funds to pursue the same goal. A copy of Orange County's Living Wage <br /> Contractor Policy is attached to this RFP. <br /> E-Verify <br /> HB789 imposes E-Verify requirements on contractors who enter into certain contracts with <br /> state agencies and local governments. The legislation specifically prohibits governmental <br /> units from entering into certain contracts "unless the contractor and the contractor's <br /> subcontractors comply with the requirements of Article 2 of Chapter 65 of the General <br /> Statues." (Article 2 of Chapter 65 establishes North Carolina's E-Verify requirements for <br /> private employers.) It is important to note that the verification requirement applies to <br /> subcontractors as well as contractors. The new laws specifically prohibit governmental units <br /> from entering into contracts with contractors who have not (or their subcontractors have not) <br /> complied with E-Verify. <br /> Page 5 of 9 <br />
