Common use of Work Authorization Process Clause in Contracts

Work Authorization Process. Upon execution of the Flexible Services Contracts, the District will generate a random list of names of the Contractors appointed to the FSCP. Work Authorizations for individual projects will be offered, negotiated, and awarded sequentially to Contractors on the FSCP list. Once the District has offered a Work Authorization to all the Contractors in the FSCP (whether or not some or all of the Contractors have accepted the Offer), a new random FSCP list will be generated. The District may offer a Work Authorization to Contractors out of sequence in the following circumstances: The Contractor that is next on the list declines or is unavailable during the time period needed. Work Authorization negotiations with the next-listed Contractor are not successful. The Project is for a Public Improvement that is a continuation of, an addition to, or connected with a Public Improvement previously constructed by a Contractor on the list, and such prior experience means that it is in the best interest of the District to award the Work Authorization to the Contractor that performed the prior work or provided the prior goods. The nature of the project is such that the District determines that an additional analysis of Contractor capability or capacity is required. In order to make this determination, the District shall conduct an Intermediate Procurement pursuant to PPS-49-0160 limited to Contractors in the FSCP. Authorization of Work. Work Authorizations will be issued by the District to the Contractor to authorize the performance of all work under the Contract. The specific statement of work, performance schedule, deliverables, and compensation for a given assignment will be included in each Work Authorization. The District is not responsible for payment of any work that is not properly authorized. Cost Estimates. Prior to issuance of any Work Authorization, the Contractor will be asked to provide a detailed cost estimate for the requested services which must include all labor hours (using the labor rates set forth in Exhibit I), Contractor and subcontractor personnel, and anticipated reimbursable expenses. All such cost estimates are subject to reasonable negotiations prior to execution of a Work Authorization. The Parties acknowledge that Work Authorization hour allocations by personnel are estimates only. Actual and therefore invoiced work hours by personnel may vary from those estimates; however, Consultant’s xxxxxxxx will not exceed the Work Authorization budget nor include xxxxxxxx for personnel not listed on the Work Authorization without the District’s prior consent.
