Modifications are where construction contracts get expensive — and where the government either holds the line or loses ground. When a contractor submits a proposal for a change, the professional reviewing it needs to know whether the technical scope is justified, whether the cost is fair and reasonable, and how to negotiate and document the result so it holds up. This course builds exactly that skill, for federal civilian acquisition professionals.
This is a focused, construction-centric, case-study-based course built around the real work of analyzing construction contract modifications. You'll sharpen your ability to review a contractor's modification proposal, conduct both the technical analysis (is the proposed change scope justified?) and the cost and price analysis (is the proposed amount fair and reasonable?), and bring the two together into a defensible position.
From there, you'll work through negotiating the modification and — just as importantly — documenting the negotiation thoroughly, so the file supports every decision you made. Because in construction modifications, a sound result that isn't well-documented is a result you can't defend later.
A note on certification: This course isn't one of the core FAC-C contracting certification courses — it's specialized continuous-learning training that earns CLPs and can satisfy agency-specific or elective training requirements. Because requirements vary, check with your Acquisition Career Manager (ACM) to confirm how it applies to your certification or continuous-learning plan.
Best for: federal civilian contracting officers, contract specialists, engineers, quality assurance personnel, CORs, and program and project managers who handle modifications on federal construction contracts.
Format: 5 days / 40 CLPs. Classroom or virtual.
Pricing is set per engagement. Contact Phoenix Canyon to request a quote.
