RoadMap to Excellence Core Activity - Contract WritingAssociated Risks
• Contract documents must be clear, complete, and unambiguous to properly protect the interests of the state and to ensure that both parties clearly understand their respective obligations.
• Errors or omissions in the contract often surface as potholes in the road to service delivery.
• Risks include disadvantageous agreements, lost time, waste, failure to obtain desired performance, inability to enforce contract terms, and loss of funding resources.

Road Map to ExcellenceConsistent Layout/Location of Key Provisions Would…
• simplify reading and interpretation of contracts for private industry, contract managers and contract reviewers;
• shorten cycle times associated with preparation, review, and approval of contract documents. Contract managers would know precisely where to locate clauses and provisions, reviewers would know where to find information, and vendors could better understand contracts drafted by any agency;
8
Road Map to ExcellenceConsistent Layout/Location of Key Provisions Would…
• enable implementation of common core training, leveraging economies of scale; and,
• facilitate the movement of personnel among agencies within the contracting career field, thus expanding their career ladder and providing a more stable professional workforce.

Old FormsShortcomings
• Outdated provisions
• Paper-based process
• Lumped together solicitation phase and contract phase
• Five different forms (depending on goods vs. services and method of procurement) fostered inconsistency
• Limited scope forced agencies to add much more, which fostered inconsistency
