Additional Work

Recommended Posts

Anyone who can help point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated. The scenario is this: Our company currently has a firm-fixed-price contract for a construction project. During the course of the project other additional work has been identified that would add cost and time to the current contract. My questions are:

1. Is there any FAR, DFAR, rule of thumb, or Court findings that imposes a cap limit by percentage or monitary amount how much a current contract can be modified, and still be considered in scope?

2. Where can I find Case Law references regarding doing a Change Order involving significant extension and price increase to an existing contract?

3. Would this situation require re-solicitation?

Look at this thread from a few weeks ago. The last post by napolik should answer your questions.

No.

2. Where can I find Case Law references regarding doing a Change Order involving significant extension and price increase to an existing contract?

Administration of Government Contracts, 4th ed., by Cibinic, Nash, and Nagle. Government Contract Changes, 3d ed., by Nash and Feldman.

3. Would this situation require re-solicitation?

I cannot say based on the information that you have provided.
