The tentative term of this Project is from March 20, 2026 through March 19, 2027, with four (4 ) automatic annual renewals, not to extend beyond March 18, 2031. Thereafter, HISD at its sole discretion may elect to either extend the Project for a term not to exceed ninety (90) days for business continuity purposes, if needed.
