Changes Clause

[Nome Dickerson]

Our agency is looking at purchasing a couple of buses as a piggyback procurement from our options available on the CALACT Joint Procurement Contract. We will need to make some changes to the contract such as changing the driver’s seat, changing the seating fabric, changing fare-box as well as installing AVL equipment on the bus and adding additional wheel chair positions. Can these changes be processed under the “changes clause” or are they considered a cardinal change. If we are able to make these changes under the “changes clause” are we required to do and ICE and/or a cost/price analysis for each change?

I believe the changes you describe can be made under the changes clause. Yes you will need to do an ICE and a cost or price analysis for each of the changes. You may also want to review the Buy America calculations to determine if your changes affect compliance with the regulations.
