Change Orders

Change orders, also called variation orders, refers to any change or variation in your contract. This could be as a result of a contract modification or REA, or it could be due to changing government agency needs. Change orders are intended to protect government contractors from being pressured to perform work that is beyond the scope of their contract. PHA provides you with useful knowledge and consulting about change orders and how to use them to your advantage.

Contract Dispute Act (CDA) Claims

The Contract Disputes Act (CDA) of 1978 provides a system for litigation and settling contract disputes between contractors and government agencies. If your organization feels the contracting agency broke the terms of the contract, then you can submit a CDA claim. PHA provides consulting and support services for all CDA claims your organization makes.

Requests For Contract Modification

A contract modification, or a contract change request (CCR), is a proposal presented to your contracting officer to change the scope of the project. This could be to change the delivery date for goods and services, add tasks to the contract, and/or expand the budget (among many other purposes. PHA understands the contract modification process and is here to assist you throughout the administration of a contract modification.

Requests For Equitable Adjustment (REA)

A request for equitable adjustment (REA) is a request proposal to your contracting officer (CO) that establishes an increase in compensation when project requirements change. This ensures that the government agency pays fair market value for the goods and services that your organization provides.

As one might expect, this process is often filled with complexities and negotiations. In most cases, negotiations and process technicalities simply are not the organization’s specialty, and we provide consulting services throughout the REA process. This allows your organization to rest assured that the process is handled properly, and it enables your top executives and employees to instead focus on the important daily operations of your organization.
