This is a firm fixed-price contract with no price escalation allowed unless specified elsewhere. Contract length and award timeline are subject to annual availability and appropriation of County funds. The County is exempt from state and federal sales taxes.

Bidders must provide commercial general liability insurance of at least $1,000,000 per occurrence and workers' compensation coverage.
