Since relevant parts of the contract will be cited, the contractor should identify the parts of the contract that provides for an equitable adjustment or an extension in the case of a delay.  Contract requirements such as scope of performance should be identified and all relevant contract clauses allowing for equitable adjustments.  “Contract” refers to those papers that collectively contain the parties’ agreement.  For Invitation for Bids, the contract is the invitation for bid that will include prices submitted by the contractor.  When the contract results from a Request for Proposal, the contract is the request for proposal and the contractor’s proposal that is expressly made part of the contract.  The contract consists only of those documents that are physically contained in the contract package or are expressly referenced by the contract (e.g. terms of conditions).  The contract usually includes only documents existing at the time the contract was awarded and except for formal contract changes, does not include items prepared at a later date.
