Contract consideration will be negotiated for each individual project, with monthly progress payments based on invoices and progress reports. The City anticipates issuing a Notice of Intent to Award by November 30, 2026.

Optional interviews are worth an additional 25 points. Submission requirements include references, a Standard Proposal Form, and acceptance or exceptions to standard contract language.
