Following the selection of the most qualified Contractor, a contract will be negotiated and executed. If the Agency is unable to negotiate a satisfactory agreement with the selected Contractor, it will undertake negotiations with the next ranked Contractor, and so on, until a satisfactory agreement is reached. A sample contract is provided under #Attachments. The prospective firms are advised to review the contract, all of the provisions and attachments to the contract before submitting their proposal.

The full execution of a written contract shall constitute the making of a contract for services and no contractor shall acquire any legal or equitable rights relative to the contract services until the contract has been fully executed by the successful Contractor and the Agency.
