Specifications include, but are not limited to: The Work Description prepared by the Rehab Specialist will list the itemized work to be accomplished. The Rehab Specialist will ensure that each Contractor has a copy of Housing Stability’s General Specifications, attached to this packet. After reviewing the Notice to Bidders and Scope of Work, the Contractor may choose to submit a bid for the work. If the Contractor wants to submit a bid, it must be submitted to the Rehab Specialist before the deadline stated in the Notice to Bid. Housing Stability recognizes that there may be multiple ways to do a specific type of work, however, the contractor must do work according to Housing Stability’s General Specifications. The Contractor should bid on the work as it is written. Homeowners may decide not to have the work done after a bidding session. If there are any questions as to the extent of the required work, the contractor must ask at the pre-bid meeting to ensure all interested contractors have the same information. The Description of Work is a legal document and part of the construction contract. If it is not followed exactly, the contractor may be required to redo the work. If any additional work is needed to complete the work accurately the Rehab Specialist should be notified immediately so a change order can be prepared. The change order will reflect the proposed change and the change in the contract price. The work covered by the change order should not proceed until all of the signatures required on the change order have been obtained. A change order cannot exceed the amount of contingency.
