Deliverables
The specific scope of work for each task/project will be provided in a written transmittal from a
City of Orange representative along with, in most cases, a follow-up phone call and, if necessary,
a meeting to discuss the specific needs of the assignment. Within five business days of receipt of
transmittal, the Consultant will be expected to provide the City with a proposed level of support
along with a NOT TO EXCEED cost. A fully-executed amendment to the on-call contract may be
required along with an authorization to proceed prior to commencement of work.
Consultant is expected to have a close working relationship with City staff and remain very
accessible throughout the contract duration. The Consultant shall act as an extension of City staff.
A member of the consulting firm will be required to attend meetings with other jurisdictions, City
departments, or public outreach events if an individual project requires extra coordination.
