documented by the Contractor. The Contract Administrator will present the requests to both
the MSRC-TAC and the MSRC for the consideration and approval.
2. Contract extensions and scope changes must be submitted by 9:00 a.m. on the first Monday
of the month to be considered by the MSRC-TAC and MSRC for that month. Requests
received after the first Monday of the month will be considered at the following month's
MSRC-TAC and MSRC meetings. Late extension requests for contracts expiring prior to the
following months MSRC-TAC meeting, must include a discussion of the compelling reasons
for the untimely submission of the request. Such requests will be considered on a case-by-
case basis by the MSRC-TAC.
3. Extension requests and scope changes will be considered by the MSRC-TAC and MSRC on
a case-by-case basis. An option clause shall be included in all contracts that will allow
MSRC staff the ability to extent a contract an additional six months at no cost to the MSRC
or the contractor. All subsequent extensions will be brought to the MSRC for its
consideration.
If a contract extension or scope change is for the contractor's convenience, the MSRC
shall have the discretion to request a downward adjustment in the contract price, an
additional task, and additional report or seek other legal consideration as a condition of
granting the extension or scope change. Situations defined as convenience are problems or
delays caused by internal management or administration, for example, failure to submit
progress reports or final reports in a timely manner, failure to aggressively monitor the
project, and extensions merely to exhaust unexpected funds.
A delay due to problems with the delivery or manufacturing of equipment or vehicles and
circumstances beyond the control of the contractors will not be considered as changes
for the contractor's convenience. Documentation of delays will be required. The MSRC
shall have the discretion to seek legal consideration for extension or requests granted under
these circumstances.
4. Any contract changes made without prior approval of the MSRC will be at the contractor's
own risk. If the MSRC does not approve the change, the contractor will not be reimbursed
for any costs incurred as a result of the unapproved change.
5. The contractor is responsible for properly monitoring the project and should notify the
Contract Administrator immediately if the Contractor feels the project is in jeopardy of falling
behind schedule or problems arise.

6. Requests for extensions must be received in writing by the Contract Administrator 60 days
prior to the close of the contract. The approval process for contract extensions and scope
changes takes approximately six weeks. If a request is made within 60 days of end date of
the contract, the contract may expire prior to review and approval of the request. If this
situation occurs, the contractor must stop work until the time extension is approved. In the
event the extension is not approved, the contractor must consider the end date of the
contract term and may not bill for work done after this date.
