Performance is restricted to locations within the United States, adhering to strict security and environmental protocols. The contract is structured as a one-year base with up to three optional one-year renewals at the county’s discretion. Award evaluation emphasizes cost (40%), technical approach (25%), relevant experience (15%), regulatory compliance (10%), and staffing capacity (10%), using a trade-off process to select the most advantageous offer rather than lowest price alone. Compliance certifications like EPA Lead Renovator, OSHA 30-hour training, and BPI Building Analyst Certification are required for key personnel.

Proposal submissions are due by May 21, 2026, via the county procurement portal or hard copy, with comprehensive documentation requirements ensuring responsiveness and conformity to solicitation instructions.
