Understanding the information and documentation required for the scope of work assists the Applicant in the drafting and validation process.

At the end of Phase II of the Public Assistance Delivery Model, the Program Delivery Manager asks the Applicant a series of questions called the Development Guide Questions. While asking these questions, the Program Delivery Manager asks if the Applicant will develop their scope of work. Applicants have two options for drafting the scope of work:

• Applicant may request that FEMA develops the scope of work via the personnel at the Consolidated Resource Center
• Applicant may inform FEMA that they will be developing their own scope of work
• For highly technical projects, the Applicant may choose to contract with architecture or engineering consultants who can complete the scope of work on behalf of the Applicant
