Sound Transit will request that the City perform specific <br />work under this Agreement through written Task Orders. This Agreement applies <br />to Project work and eligible costs beginning after execution of this Agreement and <br />associated Task Order. Any prior Project-related work or costs incurred by the City <br />are the responsibility of the City. Task Orders will be prepared by Sound Transit, <br />reviewed by the City, and executed by the Parties for each work effort to be <br />covered by this Agreement.
