The County reserves the right to select any qualified vendor under this contract for individual assignments under $25,000 without completion of any other procurement action when the program determines it is in the County’s best interest. For those individual assignments anticipated to exceed $25,000 the program shall issue a task order to all awardees of this contract. Vendors will be notified when need or work arises, and they will be given time to respond to the task order with their proposed work plan, staff, and price. Delivery of services as outlined in project specific scopes of work must be on a timeline approved by MCDPH or as provided in the task order scope of work. Award of the contract does not guarantee award of any individual assignment or task order.
Other governmental entities under agreement with Maricopa County (County) may have access to services provided hereunder.
Maricopa County reserves the right to award this contract to multiple vendors. The County reserves the right to award in whole or in part, by item or group of items, by section or geographic area, or make multiple awards, where such action serves the County’s best interest. The County also reserves the right to add additional contractors, at the County’s sole discretion, in cases where the currently listed contractors are of an insufficient number or skill set to satisfy the County’s needs or to ensure adequate competition on any project or task order work.
