Type of Resulting Contract: Statewide Cooperative Contract - As a result of this RFQu, Wayne RESA will work with the Michigan Association of Counties CoPro+ program to market and extend the resulting contract(s) to other government entities, municipalities and school districts statewide. The vendor or vendors will be competitively selected as having been qualified as defined within the qualification section of this RFQu.

Resulting Contract Term: Three (3) years with two (2) one-year renewal options.
