Tool: Scope Validation Period
19 D-B
NCHRP Research Report 939 presents practical guidance for the post-award administration of projects delivered using alternative, nontraditional methods.
Tool: Scope Validation Period (19 D-B)
What is it?
- A predetermined period when the contractor can review all existing contract documents to identify any defects, errors, or inconsistencies
Why use it?
- Clearly identify any project scope issues to avoid disputes or added costs or schedule delays later
How to use it?
- The agency should provide clear guidelines in the RFP, including the intention of the scope validation period, the start date and end date, and the documentation needed to submit scope issues
