1. GENERAL. <br /> 1.1 All professional services provided by the CONTRACTOR for the COUNTY <br /> shall be identified in Work Authorizations and performed in a timely, efficient, cost <br /> effective manner. Work Authorizations shall include a description of services to be <br /> performed; a statement of fees; a schedule of deliverables; proposed schedule for <br /> compensation and whether compensation is lump sum maximum amount not to exceed <br /> task based, or any combination of the foregoing; a budget establishing the amount of <br /> compensation to be paid with sufficient detail so as to identify all of the various elements <br /> of costs; and any other additional instructions or provisions relating to the specific <br /> Services authorized pursuant to each Work Authorization that does not conflict with the <br /> terms of this Agreement. <br /> 1.2 Whenever the term "Work Authorization" is used herein, it is intended to <br /> mean that formal document that is dated; serially numbered; and executed by both the <br /> COUNTY and the CONTRACTOR by which the COUNTY accepts Contractor's <br /> proposal for specific services and CONTRACTOR indicates a willingness to perform <br /> such specific services for the terms and under the conditions specified in this <br /> Agreement. Each Work Authorization must be fully executed by the COUNTY. <br /> 1.3 Services related to any individual Work Authorization which would <br /> increase, decrease or which are otherwise outside the scope of Services or level of <br /> effort contemplated by a Work Authorization shall be Services for which the Contractor <br /> must obtain the prior written approval of the COUNTY as provided by this Agreement. <br /> All terms for the performance of such Services must be agreed upon in a written <br /> document prior to any deviation from the terms of a Work Authorization, and when <br /> properly authorized and executed by both the CONTRACTOR and the COUNTY shall <br /> become an amendment to the Work Authorization or a new Work Authorization, at the <br /> sole option of the COUNTY. <br /> 1.4 A Work Authorization shall not give rise to any contractual rights until it <br /> meets the foregoing requirements. Each specific Work Authorization, as approved by <br /> the COUNTY, shall be an addendum to this Agreement. Nothing contained in any Work <br /> Authorization shall conflict with the terms of this Agreement, and the terms of this <br /> Agreement shall be deemed to be incorporated in each individual Work Authorization as <br /> if fully set forth therein. <br /> 1.5 It is the intent of the COUNTY to enter into Agreements with two qualified <br /> contractors. Work Authorizations will be issued to Contractors based on the lowest <br /> cost, as determined by submitted line item bid and the work required for that specific <br /> project. In the event of a tie, the Contractor which submitted the overall lowest total bid <br /> price will be issued a Work Authorization. In the event the CONTRACTOR declines a <br /> Work Authorization due to workload, the Work Authorization will be offered to the other <br /> awarded CONTRACTOR. No representation or guarantee is made by Indian River <br /> County as to the minimum or maximum dollar value, volume of work, or type of work, if <br /> any, that CONTRACTOR will receive during the term of this Agreement. <br /> 0530-2 <br /> B:\2014-2015 FY(2015000)\2015001 -Annual Utilities Labor Contract\00530 General Agreement.doc <br />
