INTRODUCTION The Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) contains provisions for contractors and the government to resolve contract disputes. Such matters arise due to events during performance, many times surfacing weaknesses in the original contract work definition, technical parameters, schedule factors or related terms and conditions that can lead to change implications effecting cost, schedule and delivery. In short, when the understanding the parties thought they had at negotiation and execution of the contract is in dispute, there must be a resolution. Such conditions open the baseline of the contract to further clarification and negotiation. The FAR recognizes that a fair and equitable process is necessary to settle such matters and re-establish a mutually agreeable contract baseline. II. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS As we have conveyed earlier in discussions on contract terminations, certain conditions are usually present when a disputed contract is on the horizon. Contract baseline management has been discussed previously in the following article: http://www.smalltofeds.com/2009/08/contract-baseline-management-in-small.html The above article offers six (6) rules of thumb: 1. KNOW - The contract value and its ceiling amount 2. KNOW - The incurred cost to date and commitments 3. KNOW - The scope of work and whether or not your current efforts are supporting it or some other objectives 4. KNOW - The estimated cost at completion based on where you are at today 5. KNOW - Your customer and who among the customer population is prone to direct out of scope effort. 6. KNOW - WHEN TO SAY "NO" to "Scope Creep" and say it officially in writing to the contracting officer specified in your contract. The remainder of this article will discuss the three most common processes that contract disputes undergo and selecting the best method considering the circumstances that exist on the contract. III. REQUESTS FOR EQUITABLE ADJUSTMENT (REA) An REA is most often the first and the least formal step undertaken by a contractor when there has been a clear and recognizable departure from the contract baseline in terms of events that warrant cost, schedule, technical performance or terms and conditions parameter modification. It does not start the formal claims process under FAR with associated interest implications
