All contracts were granted at the Board’s annual Organizational Meeting on January 7 2026 and remain in effect through the next Organizational Meeting in January 2027. Hourly rates are listed for most services, while two individual contracts are paid via flat fees; two brokerage firms receive no direct compensation from the Board. No competitive solicitation was issued, indicating a sole‑source award process.

• Audit, architectural, and nursing services each supplied by specialized firms with tiered hourly pricing.
• Insurance and benefits brokerage are performed without direct fees, likely on a commission basis.
