Proposals must be submitted electronically to [email hidden] by 3:00 PM local time on December 3, 2026, with any requests for clarification submitted by November 20, 2026. The selection process involves evaluating technical performance specifications and may include manufacturing site visits. The City reserves the right to modify its selection if pricing or service levels fail to meet industry standards.
