Proposers must submit one original and five hard copies. Proposals will be opened publicly with only firm names read aloud to maintain confidentiality during negotiations. Award will be made by Jefferson County Commissioners' Court following evaluation of proposals, with the selected contractor required to execute the contract before it becomes binding.
