Scope of Services
Port Orchard, Washington
September 15, 2025 - September 14, 2026
General Code shall continue to provide electronic updates, supplement services, and online hosting services to Port
Orchard, Washington.
Supplements
General Code's supplementation service includes, but is not limited to, codification of new ordinances,
creation of files for a web -based code, publishing of supplements to the printed code, and code archiving.
The work on your supplement specifically focuses on the new legislation being incorporated with each supplement.
For each supplement we provide project management, recordkeeping, processing, professional review of new
legislation, and consult throughout the project. Our goal is to make the information easily accessible without altering
in any way the meaning of what was originally adopted. As part of our process for new legislation, we will:
> Acknowledge receipt of all materials
> Verify adoption of all legislation, including date of action by governing body
> Review legislation and distinguish between Code and non -Code material
> Update record of legislation received and its disposition (Disposition List)
> Request any missing legislation/missing pages
> Determine proper placement of legislation within Code
> Impose or utilize the adopted flexible section numbering system that allows for later changes
> Create/modify chapter, article and/or section titles
> Add historical annotations
> Add any necessary cross references
> Include editorial notes to sections that require additional explanation
> Correct any misspellings so that searchability in eCode360 is not compromised
> Impose a distinctive style for definitions, to aid Code user in quickly finding the meaning of a particular
term
> Maintain legislative integrity by following the original tables and graphics and, where necessary,
improving the presentation so that the information contained therein is easily accessible
> Impose standard internal section organizational hierarchy consistent with the rest of the Code
> Impose standard style conventions consistent with the rest of the Code, i.e., number citation,
capitalization, nonsubstantive grammar and punctuation, internal and statutory reference citation
