18 <br /> 6.0 BASIS FOR OUR SCOPE OF WORK <br /> 1. FE professionals will be directed by the County's Project Manager or their <br /> designee according to the assignments to be performed. The scheduling of FE <br /> resources will be mutually agreed upon based on the needs of the County and <br /> the availability of the specific FE consultants. <br /> 2. This proposal assumes that FE will perform tasks called out in Section 2 <br /> (excluding any optional tasks or services). The deletion of a task or significant <br /> change in the scope of one or more tasks may affect the overall price. Optional <br /> tasks can be priced at the County's request and added to this SOW via a <br /> mutually agreeable contract modification. <br /> 3. FE will provide draft and final deliverables electronically to the County. <br /> 4. This SOW assumes that County's Project Manager will schedule meetings, <br /> provide meeting facilities, notify attendees, and arrange for onsite visits. <br /> 5. Any optional or additional tasking will be authorized by mutual agreement of the <br /> County and FE. Such tasking will be performed on a time and materials basis in <br /> accordance with the rates in Schedule A or on a fixed price basis as mutually <br /> agreed to in an additional task order by the County and FE. <br /> 6. FE will notify the County should additional funding be required to complete the <br /> approved tasks. The authorized funding will be increased by a written <br /> modification to this task duly executed by both the County and FE. <br /> 7. This SOW is based upon a start date on or before October 1, 2024, and assumes <br /> a 60-month schedule to complete the County's migration to VIPER. The schedule <br /> for procurement and implementation oversight will be adjusted after the <br /> determination of the County's procurement schedule and the vendor's final <br /> approved implementation schedule. Delays to the project schedule due to actions <br /> or lack of actions on the part of the County, County participants, third parties, and <br /> others including, but not limited to vendor protests, protracted contract <br /> negotiations, vendor delays that impact the program schedule and/or costs to the <br /> County will be brought to the attention of the County's Project Manager in a <br /> timely manner and will be reduced to writing via a mutually agreed upon contract <br /> amendment. <br /> 8. This SOW assumes an annual allocation of funding to support the County's <br /> VIPER implementation. <br /> 9. FE's ability to fulfill this task depends, in part, on the willingness and ability of the <br /> County, County participants, equipment vendors, service providers, third parties, <br /> and others to provide information in a timely manner, and upon the accuracy of <br /> the information as supplied.
