The resultant contract will be administered by the 502D Contracting Squadron. The address, telephone number and fax number of the Contracting Officer are as follows:

ANN COLEMAN

Contracting Officer

502 CONS/JBKADB

1655 Selfridge Ave Joint Base San Antonio - Lackland, TX 78236-5253 Phone: 210-671-6083 Fax: 210-671-3360 dorothy.coleman@us.af.mil

The Contracting Officer (CO) is the only person authorized to approve changes or modify any of the requirements under this contract and notwithstanding any provisions contained elsewhere in this contract, the said authority remains solely with the CO. In the event the contractor effects any such changes at the direction of any person other than the CO, the change will be considered made without authority and no adjustment will be made in the contract price to cover increase in costs incurred as a result thereof.

Contractual problems, of any nature, which might occur during the life of the contract, must be handled in conformance with very specific public laws and regulations (i.e., Federal Acquisition Regulation), and must be referred to the CO for resolution. Only the CO is authorized to formally resolve such problems. Therefore, the contractor is hereby directed to bring all such contractual problems to the immediate attention of the CO. Any request for contract changes/modification shall be submitted to the CO.

The contractor and the Government may agree to perform a no-cost field change. Field changes are made when the change appears to be mutually beneficial to all parties and would not require changing the negotiated line items. An example of a field change is: rerouting planned location of a sidewalk to avoid a tree (when quantities are not changed). All field changes must be approved by the CO prior to execution. All correspondence concerning this contract, such as requests for information (RFI), explanation of terms, and contract interpretation, shall be submitted to the CO.
