Pricing will be determined through unit pricing for various telecommunications infrastructure components, with the total cost calculated by multiplying quantities by respective unit costs. The county reserves the right to adjust quantities to meet actual needs and will select the most advantageous bid. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the infrastructure project suggests a significant investment in telecommunications infrastructure.
