Common use of General Description of Services Clause in Contracts

General Description of Services. The A-E shall provide CA-PM Support Services, including estimating and scheduling support, cost control, document control, and management of information to ensure timely and cost-effective capital and/or maintenance-repair projects. The A-E shall also manage projects consisting of the repair and refurbishment of COUNTY-owned, and/or leased facilities, and provide management of energy retrofit efficiency projects. The A-E will be contacted by COUNTY Project Manager or designee on an “as-needed” basis as projects arise to provide CA-PM Support Services. Requirements will be discussed by both Parties and then the A-E shall prepare a written Scope Statement that will include the specific work to be performed, including the costs and time required to complete the project/task. COUNTY Project Manager or designee will review the A-E’s Scope Statement, proceed with negotiation of task costs and when satisfied, issue a Contract Task Order against this CONTRACT. Orange County Public Works/Facilities Maintenance and Project Management (OCPW) are responsible for most capital and maintenance-repair projects to provide safe County facilities to all internal and external constituents of the County of Orange. Capital projects are projects with construction costs typically greater than $175,000 which may require community and stakeholder coordination, professional design services, environmental documentation, regulatory permitting, and contract management services. Maintenance-repair projects are typically under $175,000 and may not require professional design services. To meet workload demands, project scheduling commitments, and to supplement existing staff resources, OCPW intends to establish a contract to provide Contract Administration - Project Management (CA-PM) Support Services under the direction and supervision of OCPW for various Capital and Maintenance-repair projects. This scope of work is to describe the services to be provided as part of the Contract; and the administrative process of the Contract.
