Exhibit E (Additional Services)

This additional service exhibit is a simple framework for defining work that falls outside the base scope of a project. It signals where to list each added task, how it will be presented, and how it ties back to the master contract and proposal. Clear language here helps both parties align on expectations, pricing, hours, and delivery so there are no gaps at the beginning of the engagement or at the end of the record.

In legal and litigation support projects, these added tasks often focus on evidence logistics. Teams may plan to introduce exhibits at trial, ensure enough copies for the court, the judge, the jury, and opposing counsel, and prepare both electronic and printed sets. Services can include identification and labeling protocols so every exhibit is identified with consistent numbering, photos or photographs are labeled, and physical objects are packed in boxes for transport.

An evidence table of contents and chain-of-custody forms can be included so exhibits can be admitted when appropriate and presented in the proper order. Under certain circumstances, the scope may include writing a letter or notice that lists what will be introduced and the subject of each item, supporting a clean, searchable record.

Operational details also fit well here. The exhibit can define delivery timelines, who will deliver materials to the court, and whether courier or electronic delivery applies. It can specify how many sets are produced, how they are organized, and who maintains the organization during the event.

It can cover photo enlargement, scanning, Bates stamping, and creating a trial exhibit table. It may also define hourly rates for rush work and weekend hours.

Use cases include a plaintiff firm preparing a large set of exhibits, a corporate legal department outsourcing exhibit management, a trial graphics vendor handling labeled boards and electronic slide decks, or a consultant tasked to introduce exhibits and keep them ready if called by the judge. The same structure can apply to investigations, arbitrations, or administrative hearings where materials are presented.

Proposal Kit helps teams document these added services with document assembly, automated line-item quoting, and an AI Writer that builds supporting language from an extensive template library. Its ease of use makes it straightforward to define the plan, organize deliverables, and keep additional services aligned with the overall proposal.

An additional services exhibit is a practical tool for expanding a project's scope without rewriting the whole agreement. It provides a place to list new tasks, link them to the proposal, state hours and fees, and define how work will be presented and accepted. By documenting tasks at the beginning of a change, the parties avoid confusion later, maintain a clean record, and keep delivery dates synchronized with the base plan.

For litigation and investigation projects, this exhibit can cover evidence preparation. Teams can plan to introduce exhibits at trial, confirm enough copies for the court, judge, jury, and opposing counsel, and specify electronic and printed sets. Identification rules keep each item clearly identified, labeled, and sequenced so photos, photographs, and physical objects match the exhibit table and can be admitted efficiently.

The scope can include organizing boxes, creating chain-of-custody forms, and writing a letter or notice that lists the subject of each item to be presented. Under certain circumstances, it may outline who will introduce exhibits, who attends to the evidence table during the event, and who updates the record.

Operationally, the exhibit can set delivery standards: who will deliver materials, the timing of delivery, which formats apply, and how rush or after-hours work is billed. It can include packaging requirements, naming conventions, and quality checks for scanning and enlargement. It can also allocate space and resources at the venue so exhibits can be presented smoothly when called by the judge.

Use cases include a plaintiff preparing a complex set of photos and objects, a corporation standardizing electronic evidence for an internal review, a consultancy building a labeled exhibit table for a hearing, or a vendor supporting counsel with boxes of documents and a searchable index.

For managers, the impact is clarity: everyone sees the plan, knows the scope, and agrees on who will do what and when. That helps the team move from identification to admitted status without delay, even as circumstances change.

Proposal Kit can streamline the creation of these exhibits. Its document assembly, automated line-item quoting, AI Writer for supporting documents, and extensive template library help organizations write consistent language, cross-reference the proposal, and organize deliverables. With its ease of use, teams can quickly introduce well-structured additional services and keep them aligned with the overall plan.

A well-written additional services exhibit also functions as change control. It creates a clear boundary between base scope and added work, so teams can price tasks, set acceptance criteria, and measure performance without renegotiating the entire agreement. Listing each service with a short description, outputs, hours, and delivery timing helps prevent scope creep and protects both parties when circumstances shift mid-matter.

For litigation teams, this exhibit can define governance. It can assign who gathers evidence, who labels photos and objects, who maintains the exhibit table, and who communicates with opposing counsel and the court. It can set identification standards so each item is identified the same way across electronic and printed sets.

A simple plan might require a photo log, numbered and labeled, cross-referenced to forms, and a master index. It can also require mock runs before trial, so materials can be presented smoothly and admitted without delay when the judge calls for them.

Quality controls fit well here. The exhibit can require checks that enough copies exist for the judge, jury, and counsel, that boxes are sealed and documented, that every letter or notice states the subject and exhibit number, and that delivery receipts are kept for the record. File conventions for electronic evidence, naming rules, and page limits can be specified.

You can state turnaround times, escalation paths for urgent events, and the cutoff for after-hours support. These provisions help a plaintiff or corporate legal department manage costs and reduce risk while keeping the organization aligned.

Beyond trials, the same approach helps in regulatory hearings, arbitrations, or internal investigations. Examples include setting up a war-room table for rapid review, outlining who will introduce exhibits at a preliminary hearing, or defining scanning and enlargement of photographs for a board meeting. The exhibit can require periodic status updates and a closeout checklist so everything is delivered at the beginning and end of each phase.

Proposal Kit can streamline this work. Teams can assemble the exhibit with itemized services and pricing, use the AI Writer to write supporting descriptions, cover letters, and notices, and pull from a large template library to standardize identification logs, delivery checklists, and organizational summaries. Its ease of use helps you deliver consistent documents fast while keeping added services aligned with the master proposal.
