may or will be awarded;
b. Specify

requirements, including the due date and time for receipt of statements of
qualifications, the address of the office at which the statements of
qualifications are to be received, and any other special information.

district and shall be the sum of the number of contracts that may or will be
awarded, plus another number that is determined by the school district and that
is not more than five.
11. The manner in which subcontractors shall
be selected, either:
