The contract structure includes a base year and four option years of monthly service, plus a one-time cutover and IP SIP trunk installation. Performance requirements include maintaining 24/7/365 phone service with 99.9% availability, ensuring E911 compatibility, and supporting Government Emergency Telecommunications Service.
