FAR 52.211-18 Variation in Estimate Quantity allows equitable price adjustment if actual quantities vary by more than 15% above or below the

Selenium Sulfate initial estimate. Due to the work conditions of drilling and well construction, establishing up-front pricing for the changes is an opportunity to avoid contract delays. The Increase/Decrease Items are intended to provide pricing AQ items when quantities exceed the 15% variance.

2. Those items listed as Increase/Decrease (ID) may or may not be awarded.

Contractor shall provide unit cost pricing for performing or not performing the item of Work when quantities differ more than 15% from the amount established in the Base Items.

3. The ID Items establish the price for the increase in quantities of Base Item work to be performed, when more than 15% above the stated amount. A contract modification will still need to be executed to authorize the Increase work.

4. The ID Items establish the price for contract price decrease adjustment for actual quantities more than 15% below the stated quantity in the Base Bit Item.

5. Contract modification will have to be executed for the Increase/Decrease items.

This up-front pricing reduces the time for the contract modification.
