The document outlines the terms and conditions for a construction management and inspection services contract with a county. The document covers various aspects such as pricing, price escalation, release orders, audits, insurance requirements, reports, contractor requirements, conflict of interest, and the interest of members of Congress. Under pricing, it is stated that the quoted prices must remain firm for the duration of the contract, unless price escalation is specified. The fees for construction management and inspection services will be charged on a fixed hourly basis, inclusive of all overhead, profit, and related costs. Regarding price escalation, the prices offered in the contract will remain firm for one year from the effective date. However, prior to subsequent renewal terms, the county may consider a request for escalation based on the current Consumer Price Index or a maximum 5% increase on the current pricing, whichever is lower. The county reserves the right to accept or reject the request within fourteen days. Release orders will be issued by the purchasing agent to satisfy the county's requirements, and each release order will refer to the master contract number. These release orders, even if not completed within the contract term, will still be bound by the terms and conditions of the contract. The contractor is required to make available and permit inspection of all records, information, and documentation related to the contract by the county, its employees, or agents. This includes contracts, invoices, payroll, and financial audits. The successful contractor(s) must execute an Evidence of Insurance form provided by the county and maintain the required insurance coverage throughout the contract term. Documentation of insurance must be provided to the county when required. Reports prepared for the county under this contract should be printed on recycled and recyclable paper printed on both sides, in accordance with the Baltimore County Code. Contractors may be required to provide evidence of sufficient financial responsibility and the necessary equipment, manpower, and storage facility to ensure delivery within the contract parameters. They must also provide references of similar-sized contracts serviced in the past eighteen months. The county reserves the right to inspect the facilities of any contractor before awarding the contract. The document also addresses conflict of interest, stating that certain classes of people, including present or former members or officers of the county's governing body, employees who influence decisions, and public officials or legislators, cannot have an interest, direct or indirect, in any contract or arrangement related to the county project. Any member of these classes must disclose their interest to the county or funding sources. County employees are also prohibited from acquiring any interest in housing projects or contracts related to them. The contractor warrants that it does not have any organizational conflict of interest that may result in an unfair competitive advantage or impair objectivity in performing the contract work. If an organizational conflict of interest is discovered after the award, the contractor must disclose it to the contracting officer. Failure to disclose may result in termination of the contract. Contractors and their principals are also prohibited from having an interest in any property to be appraised. Lastly, the document mentions that no member of or delegate to the Congress of the United States of America or resident commissioner shall be admitted to any interest in the contract.
