Proposers must meet pass/fail criteria regarding responsiveness, responsibility, and financial stability. A bid bond or certified check security deposit is required with submission. The contract may be expanded to other government entities through inter-local agreements. Proposers must comply with anti-boycott certifications, drug-free workplace policies, and Executive Order 1-56 regarding zero tolerance for human trafficking.
