The estimated contract value is $3,500,000.00, with award anticipated approximately sixty business days after bid opening, and award will be made to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder or split among multiple vendors at the county's sole discretion. The contract is contingent on sufficient funding availability, and the county reserves the right to terminate for convenience with thirty days' notice.
