Project Type #1 encompasses seven key deliverables including a current coverage assessment ($150,000 one-time), state purchasing strategy development, expert technical assistance on leveraging buying power across multiple markets, support for establishing procurement processes, project management, development of stakeholder engagement materials, and additional consulting services as needed. Project Type #2 focuses on expert actuarial and economic modeling services, including comprehensive assessments of departmental proposals, recommendations for addressing identified impacts, and additional modeling services as requested.
