The solicitation requires bids to be physically submitted in sealed envelopes marked “SEALED BIDS,” with no provision for electronic submission. Pricing, quantities, and contract value are not disclosed, as this remains an invitation to propose offers under described specifications and conditions. The county reserves the right to reject any or all bids, underscoring the competitive and discretionary nature of the procurement.
