The maximum potential contract amount is $200,000 over the agreement term, running from late 2026 through December 2028 with automatic renewal for one additional one-year term (maximum two years total) unless the City provides written notice of nonrenewal at least 15 days before expiration. The City is not obligated to assign any minimum amount of work; selected consultants will receive task requests and submit task proposals on an as-needed basis, with no guaranteed assignments or payment.
