Question: Service Contracts (ie: Cost Plus): Is there
any way to add a clause to service contracts to add additional funding instead
of going through an entire “re-signing” process? In other words, can we as IMCOM for
De-obligated funds that were not used to cover incidentals? (Example was: set
original contract lower but have funds available in needed in a “general fund
of some kind” if needed).
Answer: The answer is yes. We can
and sometimes add a "contingency clin" to a service contract without
any funding on it initially. If funding
is needed urgently we can quickly add funding to the clin that has already been
established without re-negotiating the entire contract. Or, if there is money on a clin that is not
needed at the end of a contract we can de-obligate those dollars and ideally
use them for another purpose. DPW is currently
looking at all their contracts to see where this needs to be done.
