This is an indefinite‑delivery, open‑end framework agreement between Cecil County Department of Public Works and a future professional engineering firm to provide on‑call wastewater and broader engineering services. The County may issue separate task orders for each project, specifying scope, deliverables, schedule, and compensation. The agreement sets general terms—payment within 30 days of invoice, 45‑day invoicing window, suspension and termination procedures, claim handling, and insurance requirements. Rates are defined in Exhibit C (not disclosed), and the Engineer acts as the County’s prime consultant, with the ability to use sub‑consultants subject to County approval. The initial term is one year (July 1 2026 – June 30 2027) with up to four one‑year extensions at the County’s discretion. No overall contract ceiling is stated; each task order will have its own budget.
