SPE 2
ADJUSTMENT IN THE CONTRACT AMOUNT DUE TO CHANGES
Adjustments of contract fee shall be determined by negotiations before performing
the work. The A/E shall submit in advance of performing additional work a
detailed breakdown of his/her proposal for the changed work in the format
established by A/E's Estimate of Adjustment in Contract Amount, Explanatory
Notes (Attachment I). The contractor shall not be entitled to any additional fee for services
rendered without the prior written authorization of the Contracting Officer. See FAR

SPE 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.
