project including roofing, painting, and window replacement, then the Government would have a
choice in how execution is to proceed. The project could be divided into three separate projects
and IDC Orders could be awarded for each type of work.
(e) The T&M contract has an advantage over the JOC in that there are no minimum or
maximum amounts for Orders. Orders can be issued quickly for emergency repairs. This is
normally quicker than getting a Purchase Order/SAP executed. Under this type of contract, a
Order can be issued within a few hours for Not To Exceed (NTE) Orders. However, FFP
contracts offer much greater controls on costs. This option should be considered only after close
coordination, and approval by, project management, resource management, contracting and
counsel.
(f) If a military installation has each of the various contract types available, the T&M
contract is generally used as a last resort method of execution. The T&M contract is a
back-up to other types of contracts.
j. Solicitation Documents. As a reminder for CONUS construction solicitations, EFATS
52.102-1, "Incorporation By Reference", allows to incorporate solicitations, provisions, or
contract clauses by reference. The reference must include the exact date of the provision or
clause.
