During the initial contract term, the selected Consultant may be required to conduct up to 700 site visits, with a minimum of 350 Site Visits per the first contract year, unless additional visits are mutually agreed upon by the City and the Proposer. Additional information regarding tasks and expectations is provided in the Scope of Work section of this RFP.
