The Director of the Department may issue verbal orders for emergency work or extra materials, provided such orders are documented in writing within twenty-four hours. All contractor work must comply with the terms, conditions, and specifications in the bid proposal and award documentation. Time is identified as essential to the agreement. Execution requires signatures from both parties and approval by the Cecil County Attorney for legal form and sufficiency.
