Contract award will be made to the qualified firm or individual with the highest cumulative points, subject to DRA award(s) and removal of all environmental conditions. The Water Association will execute one individual fixed-price contract for each awarded project.

The Water Association will establish a selection committee to evaluate proposals within thirty days of the August 6 deadline.
