b. The capacity and capability of the firm to perform the work within the time limitations fixed for the completion of the project

When issued, such purchase orders are binding.

Services may not proceed on any project until the Master Services Agreement, individual work order, and project-specific purchase order are established.

Professional service fees for projects under the MSA will be limited to $250,000 per project, where all costs including subcontracted services and reimbursable expenses are figured into the project’s fee.
