The bid solicitation covers a six-month contract period from July 1, 2025, through December 31, 2025, with bids to be received by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 1, 2025. Bidders must submit pricing for all items listed on the Official Bid Form, as partial bids will not be accepted.

The bid specifies that pricing must remain firm for the entire six-month award period, with no price changes allowed.

The award will be made to the lowest responsible bidder based on item price or aggregate net total, taking into consideration factors such as the reliability of the bidder, commodity quality, and conformity with specifications. Bidders must provide detailed product information, including manufacturer names, brand names, and product codes. The county will require the successful bidder to maintain appropriate insurance coverage, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and automobile liability insurance.
