Been doing Govt work with contractors for years. Always amazes me how Uncle Sam can let a contract, and then remember all the stuff he forgot to put in it. Yep.....chnage orders cost us dearly. Never much amazed me the costs would be high on each change, after all, at that point the contractor knows he's in progress, and Uncle Sam does not want to have to stop work, settle a contract, then re-do the solicitation, offer it again, and go back thru re-award, and re-start.
