The contract is awarded for a one-year period with an option to extend for up to four additional one-year periods by mutual written agreement at the Department's sole discretion. Payment is made solely on a per-plowing-hour-worked basis at the bidder's quoted hourly rate, with the lowest average bid price per hour serving as the primary award criterion.
