The OEC services are separated into several tasks, as follows:

Task 5 - Project Management
The City will request a task order from the consultant as necessary work is identified.

After negotiation and upon acceptance by the city, the consultant shall commence with said work. The Engineer shall provide such professional engineering services as may be necessary to accomplish the work required to be performed and shall at the firm’s cost, furnish all necessary competent personnel, equipment, and materials to perform the work.
This serves multiple planning areas so this project is coded as “99 - Citywide”.
