53 N/A RFP

On page 106 of 198 the RFP states, NOTE F: SPECIAL AGREEMENT FOR CHANGES WITH A PRICE OF $25,000 OR LESS

To make administration of small dollar value changes more efficient and less costly, both parties (Government and Contractor) agree to a pre-priced value for individual growth items with an estimated price of $25,000 or less. The Contract will include a firm fixed price for growth valued at $25,000.00 or less. Zero-dollar changes and administrative contract changes (for example, drawing revision change where no additional work is required) shall not be executed using the Small Dollar Value Growth procedures, but will follow the change process.

Question:

In NOTE F, will the Government clearly identify changes in drawings when they have determined that "no additional work is required"?

The example used was chosen to illustrate that a hypotthetical RCC may request that a drawing be corrected or updated; however the RCC is administrative in nature, no work from the contractor is provided, and therefore, no small dollar value growth chit is used.
