The initial contract term begins August 5, 2026, and renews automatically on an annual basis until either party provides written notice of termination. Compensation is set at $50.00 per hour, with the Division covering FICA and other legally required payments; hourly rates may be adjusted based on performance and funding, but cannot exceed increases in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers. No formal evaluation weighting or point system is specified—meeting the minimum qualifications serves as a mandatory pass/fail gate for consideration.
