Public Procurement Act (Code of Virginia Title 2.2, Chapter 43). No minimum or maximum dollar amount is

guaranteed under any resulting contract. The City reserves the right to issue task orders to one or more

awarded consultants based on the specific needs, qualifications, or workload considerations of each

assignment. This contract does not guarantee exclusivity.

1.4 Number of Awards

The City expressly reserves the right to award contracts to more than one offeror, where the City determines

that multiple awards are in the public interest. The terms and conditions for multiple awards are set forth

herein. Each awarded firm may be assigned task orders independently at the City's discretion.
