A NOTE TO DESIGNERS OF MUNICIPAL CONTRACTS REGARDING APPENDICES There are a number of OPS specifications published with appendices containing supplemental requirements that modify the specification. These specifications contain information written for use in provincial contracts. The appendices contain supplemental requirements that modify the provincial requirements so the specifications can be used in municipal contracts. The specifications are easily identified, as the table of contents for each specification lists the appendix containing the supplemental requirements (e.g., Supplemental Requirements for Using OPSS XXX in Municipal Contracts. Designers of municipal contracts should review each specification to determine if the supplemental requirements should be invoked in their contracts. To ensure completeness of municipal Contract Documents, designers should invoke the appendices by referencing them in the Contract Documents.
