SPB 3
CHANGES FIXED-PRICE (AUG 1987) (FAR 52.243-1 including
Alternate III (APR 1984))
(a) The Contracting Officer may at any time, by written order, and without
notice to the sureties, if any, make changes within the general scope of this
contract in the services to be performed.
(b) If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time
required for, performance of any part of the work under this contract, whether
or not changed by the order, the Contracting Officer shall make an equitable
adjustment in the contract price, the delivery schedule, or both, and shall modify
the contract.
(c) The Contractor must assert its right to an adjustment under this clause within
30 days from the date of receipt of the written order. However, if the Contracting Officer
decides that the facts justify it, the Contracting Officer may
receive and act upon a
proposal submitted before final payment of the contract.
(d) If the Contractor's proposal includes the cost of property made obsolete or
excess by the change, the Contracting Officer shall have the right to prescribe
the manner of the disposition of the property.
(e) Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a dispute under the Disputes
clause. However, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor from
proceeding with the contract as changed.
(f) No services for which an additional cost or fee will be charged by the
Contractor shall be furnished without the prior written authorization of the
Contracting Officer.
