Is that all that is outlined in the scope of the test? can I use social engineering and viruses/trojans? can I get phyical access to the site? can i leave a few usb drivers laying around? Am I allowed to DoS production machines?

I would say if I am allowed to use social engineering and leave a few usb drives laying around the site that I can get in.

take care and have fun --John
