8. Changes to Frequency and/or Quantities - The Government reserves the option, should it become necessary, to decrease or increase service frequencies and/or facility quantities in any or all project areas. The Government may also, at any time during the duration of this contract, close any property or portion of the property and delete any subsequent service in the closed property or area. The Contractor shall be given adequate notification to prepare for either contingency. This decrease or increase will be deducted from or paid for in accordance with the bidding schedule or a negotiated cost. For increases in services, a formal modification will be issued, signed by the Contracting Officer prior to the performance of services.
