It outlines the scope of work, expected standards, and any specific tasks or deliverables that must be completed as part of the contract. For example, in a construction contract, this clause might detail the phases of work, reporting requirements, and compliance with regulations.

1. The role and responsibility of the A-E will be to serve as the Project’s Engineer-of-Record and provide services for the investigation, design, documentation, construction support, and alteration of the Project. This scope of work provides policy information, requirements, direction, and guidance for the preparation of CTO deliverables and sets forth expectations for the delivery of services, preparations of the Project construction documents, specifications, design services, cost estimates, and related work to be performed OCPW.
2. The requirements of the Project are designed to support proper operations and maintenance of the facility, as well as meet regulatory permit requirements once construction is complete. It is the policy of OCPW to construct facilities that are functionally adequate, efficient, and which represent an economic balance between initial cost and cost of maintenance and operation. The completed Project shall be determined by its function and requirements. For these reasons, CTO proposals submitted to OCPW Project Management must fully address and incorporate the policies and instructions contained herein. In the event that the A-E determines that a County guideline is not applicable to a particular CTO, the A-E must submit a written request to deviate from the guidelines. OCPW Project Management and appropriate department personnel will review and provide a written response to the request. The A-E shall not submit designs which would necessitate variances from codes and ordinances regulating construction in Orange County.
3. Documents prepared for the Project must provide clear, concise, and precise information for Project stakeholders and contractors. The A-E is expected to make certain that the material is understandable to the intended audience. The A-E will be required to perform, at their own expense, such redesign or revision of reports, plans, specifications, cost estimates, or other deliverables furnished under the contract if OCPW determines that such revision is necessary to correct errors or deficiencies for which the A-E is responsible.
