Re: Basically...
3b) Absolutely no penalty clauses for shoddy, late and non working offerings.
I have yet to see a government contract that actually spells out exactly what is wanted, how it will be tested and what the penalties are for non compliance and also just how change orders are to be handled.
On the last semi government project I was involved with I had the contracts department rewrite all their supply contracts to specify exactly what was required and actually add penalty clauses because they had never used them before. We had one supplier that was most upset when I invoked the penalty clauses for late supply and not up to specifications.
