The contract is anticipated to extend for five years from award through December 31, 2031, with automatic renewal on January 1 of each subsequent calendar year unless the County provides written notice of non-renewal at least five days prior to year-end. Proposals will be evaluated on a 100-point scale consisting of Cover/Transmittal Letter and Required Forms (Pass/Fail), Firm Qualifications (35 points), Firm Approach (35 points), and Resumes for Key Personnel (30 points), with proposals limited to twenty pages formatted on 8.5" x 11" paper with minimum 11-point font.

Pricing will be submitted separately as a sealed fee schedule and must include fully burdened hourly rates for Project Managers and Acquisition Agents for the base year 2026, with clearly stated escalation rates or maximum allowable percentage increases for years 2027 through 2031.
