1. GENERAL. 1.1 All construction services provided by the CONTRACTOR for the COUNTY shall be identified in Work Authorizations and performed in a timely, efficient, cost effective manner. Work Authorizations shall include a description of services to be performed; a statement of fees; a schedule of deliverables; proposed schedule for compensation and whether compensation is lump sum maximum amount not to exceed task based, or any combination of the foregoing; a budget establishing the amount of compensation to be paid with sufficient detail so as to identify all of the various elements of costs; and any other additional instructions or provisions relating to the specific Services authorized pursuant to each Work Authorization that does not conflict with the terms of this Agreement. 1.2 Whenever the term "Work Authorization" is used herein, it is intended to mean that formal document that is dated, serially numbered; and executed by both the COUNTY and the CONTRACTOR by which the COUNTY accepts Contractor's proposal for specific services and CONTRACTOR indicates a willingness to perform such specific services for the terms and under the conditions specified in this Agreement. Each Work Authorization must be fully executed by the COUNTY. 1.3 Services related to any individual Work Authorization which would increase, decrease or which are otherwise outside the scope of Services or level of effort contemplated by a Work Authorization shall be Services for which the Contractor must obtain the prior written approval of the COUNTY as provided by this Agreement. All terms for the performance of such Services must be agreed upon in a written document prior to any deviation from the terms of a Work Authorization, and when properly authorized and executed by both the CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY shall become an amendment to the Work Authorization or a new Work Authorization, at the sole option of the COUNTY. 1.4 A Work Authorization shall not give rise to any contractual rights until it meets the foregoing requirements. Each specific Work Authorization, as approved by the COUNTY, shall be an addendum to this Agreement. Nothing contained in any Work Authorization shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, and the terms of this Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in each individual Work Authorization as if fully set forth therein. 1.5 It is the intent of the COUNTY to enter into Agreements with two qualified contractors. Work Authorizations will be issued to Contractors based on the lowest cost, as determined by submitted line item bid and the work required for that specific project. In the event of a tie, the Contractor which submitted the overall lowest total bid price will be issued a Work Authorization. In the event the CONTRACTOR declines a Work Authorization due to workload, the Work Authorization will be offered to the other awarded CONTRACTOR. No representation or guarantee is made by Indian River County as to the minimum or maximum dollar value, volume of work, or type of work, if any, that CONTRACTOR will receive during the term of this Agreement. 0530-2 F:\Utilities\UTILITY - Engineering\Projects - Utility Construction Permits\IRC - LABOR CONTRACT REVISED FOR 2014\00530 General Agreement.doc
