Addendum #3, 2/18/2026:
Page 5-6: The item numbering in Section F. Technical Proposal skipped Item 10. This was a formatting error and no content was omitted. A revision was made to the bid packet to make the item numbering consecutive.
Page 10: The language after the first sentence of Item 4 under PROGRAM ADMINISTRATION - RECORDS AND REPORTING has been separated and is now Item 5, to clarify that the reference to "sections 2, 3, and 4 above" refers to the items immediately above Item 5. The separated version of Items 4 and 5 appears below. No content was changed.
"4. For each branch of the Small Claims court, the Contractor shall track and record the percentages of Small Claims contested cases choosing to utilize mediation to resolve their case.
