3.30 PARTNERING:
In order to accomplish this contract effectively, the Government proposes to form a cohesive partnership
with the successful Offeror and its subcontractors. This partnership would strive to draw on the strengths
of each organization in an effort to achieve a quality project, done right the first time, within the budget, and
on schedule. This partnership will be totally voluntary. The focus of partnering is to build a cooperative
relationship with the private sector and avoid or minimize disputes and to nurture a more collaborative
ethic characterized by trust, cooperation and teamwork. Partnering is defined as the creation of a
relationship between the Government and the successful Offeror that promotes mutual and beneficial
goals. It is a non-contractual, but formally structured, agreement formation of a "we" mentality for the
benefit of the project. Any cost associated with developing this partnership will be agreed to by both
parties, after contract award, and will be shared equally with no change in contract price.
