1.7.1.2. All Work orders issued hereunder are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. In the event of conflict with any work order, the contract will take precedence. The Contractor shall refer any questions, concerns, or disputes concerning work orders to the COR in writing within 24 hours (two hours for emergencies) of receipt of the work order. In the case of misunderstanding or concern, the Contractor does not have the right to reject work orders. Should questions, concerns, or disputes occur, the Contractor shall continue work while elevating to the CO in writing for direction/resolution.
1.7.1.3. Work orders will be accomplished during normal duty hours. However, occasions may arise that require work to be accomplished outside of these hours and must be coordinated and approved by the CO.
