Hi Teresa - thank you for the question and the catch on the rfp. We anticipate awarding the contract the week of December 5, 2022. The timeline of the contract will depend on the chosen firm. It is our understanding that typically the process to be fully vetted usually takes 9 months to a year, but we can define a definite timeline working with the process and needs of the chosen vendor. Please let me know if that does not fully answer your question.
