Following successful negotiations, the DIRECTOR will Issue a WORK ORDER and a purchase order to
CONSULTANT for the Work
A1.01-2 Procedure
When a specific project has been determined, the Director or his/her authorized designee, will

Professional Services generally following the guidelines attached hereto as Schedule A2, indicating the
proposed scope of services, time of performance, proposed fees, SUB -CONSULTANTS, deliverable Items
and/or documents, and funding and/or estimated construction cost, if provided by the CITY.
Any matters of concern regarding the CONSULTANT's shall be negotiated until concurrence as to a
Work Order is reached. If accord cannot be reached, the CITY may terminate negotiations and may
request a Work Order Proposal from another qualified CONSULTANT under contract with the CITY, or
secure such services through other means available to it under law.
When consensus is reached, the CONSULTANT shall prepare a revised and final Work Order
Proposal which will be attached and incorporated to the WORK ORDER authorized by the DIRECTOR.
The WORK ORDER shall first be executed by the CONSULTANT as "Accepted and Approved." The Work
Order is then approved by the City Manager, DIRECTOR and/or other duly authorized representative(s) of
the CITY by the City Manager. When the WORK ORDER is fully executed, written "Notice to Proceed" will
be issued by the DIRECTOR and/or his/her designated -designee.
