|Prepare the cecLOF to request the CEC LCA Support Service|(((

58

The Vendor opens the cecLOF form contained in the CEC Document Package.

59

60

The Vendor enters the information requested in the blue fields in the cecLOF by following the guideline provided within the cecLOF. This includes the contact information on the first page, the scope and cost of the CEC LCA Support on the CEC LCA Purchase Order page, and the Invoicing Information on the Invoicing Information page of the cecLOF.

61

62

The Vendor determines the cost of the CEC LCA Support Service by double clicking the 2nd table on the CEC LCA Purchase Order page of the cecLOF:

This is an embedded Excel table. Once double-clicked it appears like this:

68

[[image:image-20240726191410-2.png]]

69

70

Now the Vendor selects the number of products in column A, rows 2 and 3, the Product Type in column C, rows 2 and 3. Note that row 3 is optional and the related cost is 0 if in cell C3 "none" is selected. Finally, the Vendor selects the number of sites to be included in cell A4.

71

72

The embedded table automatically determines the cost of the CEC LCA Support service based on the information provided.

73

74

To leave the editing mode of the embedded Excel table, click on the Word document outside the Excel table.

75

76

In addition, the Vendor defines the requested Invoicing Information on the Invoicing Information page of the cecLOF form.

77

78

The Vendor may opt out of the contract signing process via docusign.com, but is requested to only do this if the Vendor is certain that signature via docusign.com is technically not possible. Not using docusign.com will result in delays.

79

80

Once the Vendor has entered all information, the Vendor saves the word file and e-mails it to [[contact@cecocert.com>>mailto:contact@cecocert.com]].

Do not turn the file into a PDF at this stage and do not attempt to sign it. Do send the Word file, and ensure the only modification of the Word file is the information entered into the blue fields. PDF files and "signed" Word files may be rejected without comment.
