This document outlines the mandatory general conditions that will govern any service contract awarded by the County of Ocean for building‑system trades such as HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, generators, security, elevators, and irrigation. The contractor must comply with identification, security clearance (if applicable), insurance, indemnification, safety, environmental, and documentation requirements. Billing is time‑based with 15‑minute increments, and all material costs must be pre‑approved and invoiced at wholesale cost plus markup. Mandatory check‑in/check‑out procedures, response‑time expectations (1‑hour call‑back, 2‑hour on‑site for emergencies), and a one‑year workmanship warranty are required. Subcontracting of the primary trade is prohibited without written County approval. The County retains the right to terminate for cause or convenience and may back‑charge for non‑performance.
