An interested firm's proposed timeline should complete the Study's deliverable of findings by March 31, 2027, with presentation(s) of the findings occurring at a later date. The Air District expects to enter into contract with one (1) firm. The anticipated duration of the contract will be for a period of up to one (1) year, however, the Air District, at its sole discretion, will determine the initial duration of the contract and any subsequent extensions, as applicable.
