Thanks, Joel. That very helpful.

I should have added that we have agreement from the contractor to renegotiate IAW the VEQ clause for bulk application vs. spot repairs (this is for road repairs). He's agreed to use Means Cost Guide as a basis for revised pricing.

If you have unit priced CLINs with estimated quantities on a construction contract, with a VEQ clause, do you know if there is any limitation on the ability to increase an individual CLIN quantity to respond to actual requirements in the field? I don't believe there is, but my CO is expressing concern because the awarded estimated quantity was 24 CY of aggregate, and we need to increase it to about 1200 CY. Other CLINs will not be used as much as estimated and there will be no increase to the total contract price of the contract. Thanks for the help.
