something that can be done due to time or any other situation that may prevail.

30 May short-notice, extended-hour, overnight, weekend, or holiday coverage resulting from a COR-directed schedule change be billed separately, or must all associated costs be included in the fixed contract price?

All changes will go thru the COR only and a SF30 will be provided by the contracting officer at the end of performance. Only the KO can make changes to the contract, not the COR.
