Pricing is to be based on a baseline of 5,000 annual tests, with separate estimates for e‑proctored and on‑site test delivery, and must include a narrative explaining the cost methodology. The RFP is open only to small‑business firms certified by Cuyahoga County, and the deadline was extended to February 20, 2024.
