specifications will be created for use by the city in publicly bidding the project. OPN will
provide bidding assistance, including answering questions (RFI’s) and preparing addenda as

architect, contractor) meetings at a cadence appropriate to the work. Also included are site
observations, issuance of ITC’s, review of submittals and pay applications, and project close-
out procedures.

but should it be deemed necessary based on further design or discovery of existing
conditions, Raker Rhodes Engineering will provide services on an hourly basis.
