Evaluation criteria include price, contractor experience and qualifications, equipment adequacy, personnel competency, financial capacity, and compliance with submission requirements. The contract term is one year from the effective award date with options for two additional one-year renewal periods by mutual written agreement, plus the City's unilateral right to extend for up to three additional 30-day periods, with annual price escalation permitted thereafter limited to the previous year's Consumer Price Index change.
