For the purposes of payment and the satisfaction of the terms of this contract, it is understood that the preparation of the manuscript shall consist of the following items: 1.

The exact number and proportion of the total surveyed will be defined based on several factors, including significance and condition of properties. Selection will include consultation with the local coordinator, local preservation commission and division representative. 3.

Expand and edit entries on properties and conduct additional research for key entries as deemed appropriate and agreed upon through consultation with the Division and the Local Coordinator. 5.

Prepare bibliography and other desired front and back material such as glossary.
