About this file

This document is a sample Multnomah County Services Contract template designed for potential service agreements between Multnomah County and contractors. The seven-page document outlines a standard contract framework with placeholders for specific project details, work descriptions, and compensation terms. While the specific contract opportunity is not fully detailed in this sample, the template is structured to support a wide range of potential service engagements, with sections for defining work scope, payment terms, contract duration, and renewal options.

The contract template includes comprehensive provisions covering key administrative and legal requirements, such as insurance specifications, anti-discrimination clauses, compliance with federal and state regulations, fiscal management standards, and audit requirements. Notably, the document includes provisions for federal fund subrecipients, requiring detailed accounting practices, potential fiscal compliance reviews, and adherence to specific auditing standards. The maximum contract payment, work description, invoicing procedures, and potential contract renewal terms would be customized in the specific exhibit (Exhibit 1) when the template is used for an actual contract, such as the referenced Primary Care Patient Experience Surveys project.
