The City reserved the right to award by individual line item, group of line items, or total contract based on what it deemed most advantageous, with price adjustments permitted only at renewal subject to city approval. No specific budget amount or contract value was disclosed in available solicitation documents. No recent opportunities beyond this single Tucson procurement appear in the source material.
