PROJECT MANAGEMENT

Job Orders will be issued for all ongoing and planned technical assistance support in the energy sector.

The Job Order will be a letter or other written communication signed by the Contracting Officer. A Job Order does not add funding to the contract.

The Contracting Officer will have sole authority to issue the Job Order. The Job Order will authorize the Contractor to proceed to implement the activity.

Each Job Order will: I) be sequentially numbered; and II) include a work description, benchmarks and performance monitoring requirements, budget, and any consent to subcontract, if known. The initial Job Order will include performance monitoring requirements, which may be amended in future Job Orders.

The Contractor will submit a written request for the approval of a Job Order, through the Contracting Officer’s Representative (COR), to the Contracting Officer (CO) including the request for telework, if any.

The USAID CO may issue unilateral Job Orders based on the information received in an assessment or implementation plan with ceiling costs when deemed necessary to affect a rapid intervention. If the Contractor finds that it cannot proceed with a subcontract or purchase of goods/services as described in the approved Job Order for reasons beyond its control, the Contractor must seek and obtain written approval by the CO with technical concurrence from the COR. USAID shall not be liable for any costs incurred by the Contractor in excess of that contained in the Job Order.
