Selected firms will be awarded an initial two-year agreement (beginning July 1, 2021 and ending June 30, 2023). Each agreement will have the option for one (1) two-year renewal (July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2025). The total term with the ability to renew will end at June 30, 2025. At each renewal, there will be an opportunity to make adjustments in the scheduled hourly rates.
