Interviews are tentatively scheduled for August 5, 2026, with contract award anticipated by August 20, 2026. Proposers must complete the County's standard pricing proposal template specifying costs across three years; failure to use the provided template or modify it may result in proposal rejection. This is a cooperative procurement allowing other organizations to utilize any resulting agreement. All submission materials become public records.
