Each solution area includes multiple project phases structured as separate line items, ranging from Project Initiation & Governance through Operational Handover, with Hardware, Software, Licensing, and Maintenance components. The County intends to award a three-year contract with an option to renew for two additional years to the most responsive and responsible bidder.

Bidders must submit pricing using the County-provided Excel bid form with no alterations permitted, and failure to comply may result in bid rejection. All quoted costs must include taxes (excluding sales and use tax) and travel expenses, representing the maximum amount the County will pay over the contract term. Pricing on all line items is mandatory; bidders must enter "0" for any services provided at no cost and cannot leave cells blank. Partial bids lacking complete pricing for all line items are unacceptable and will be disqualified. The quantities listed are estimates only and do not represent guaranteed minimum or maximum purchase commitments.
