These contracts are used for the award of individual or multiple contracts in which the selected entity agrees to perform work under a general scope of services. Work authorizations for specific tasks will be issued to the selected entity on an as-needed basis. Work authorizations must be issued for new projects within the two years following execution of the prime contract. Thus, the contract period for indefinite delivery contracts is four years. Work authorizations can be issued after the initial 2-year period, but only if it is necessary to complete projects that were started within the initial 2-year period after contract execution. However, new projects may not be started more than two years after contract execution. Contracts may not exceed a maximum amount payable of $2,000,000 for a contract to provide services in a single district or $5,000,000 to provide services in two or more districts.
