The contract is established as a multi-year agreement with an initial term of two years, followed by three optional one-year extension periods, making the potential contract duration up to five years. The contract will be awarded by group and is mandatory for use by all State of California departments, while remaining available for use by local governmental agencies.

Additional solicitation documents, including the scope of work and technical specifications, would typically contain these specifications and financial requirements necessary for bidders to develop competitive proposals.
