NOTICE OF PROPOSED PARTNERING -- BUREAU OF

RECLAMATION

MAY 1994

Reclamation policy is to try to resolve all contractual issues in controversy by mutual agreement through the use of an appropriate alternative disputes resolution process. Thus to most effectively complete the work required under the future contract, the Bureau of Reclamation proposes to mutually form a voluntary Partnering arrangement with the Contractor.

This bilateral relationship would strive for mutual trust, dedication to common goals, and an understanding of each other's individual expectations and values. The expected benefits would include improved efficiency, cost effectiveness and innovation between all parties to ensure a quality deliverable that is completed on time and within budget. Any cost associated with implementing this Partnering arrangement will be agreed to by both parties and will be shared equally, with no change in contract price. Additional information on Partnering and suggested implementation procedures are contained in the Bureau of Reclamation "Partnering" guide book, that is available from the contracting officer.
