I would like to hear how you would manage this scope after contract signature:

"The Contractor shall prepare and provide the following submittals (non-exhaustive)
during the project execution phase"

The language used indicate that the list is not finite.

Time and material, fixed price, or something else?

I worked for a company where my predecessor prepared a contract that basically committed the company to pay for services on a schedule, even if we didn't receive the services. I was able to show the CFO that we were bleeding money and our CEO basically forced a renegotiation of the contract.

Hopefully you have a T&M contract, not fixed price. If it's T&M, do your best to identify what will be required and build it into your execution plan. Okay, you'll have to do this, anyway, but at least with T&M you can bill for the extra work.

It is fixed price, well for the customer at least, for the vendor not so fixed ;)
