     The Intent of a GAO report to the Gene-al Services Administration (GSA)
on the pricing of contract change orders was to have such construction contract
adjustments negotiated, it was noted that allowances for overhead, profit, and
commission on subcontract work were routinely included in the negotiated price
for change orders that adde, work, but no price deductions were made for change
orders that deleted work. It was recommended that constructon contract provisions
be amended to provide t~at overeae, profit, and comission be applied on all
change orders which either add or delete work. Findings/Conclusions: GSA plans
to take steps to recover unexpended %T-unts of overhead, profit, aiid commission
to credit change orders to construction contracts. In developing language equit-
able to both Government and its contractors, GSA will take into : .ount overhead
costs that may not be reduced as a result of deleted work, such as equipment
rental, salaries, and temporary plant costs. GSA's statements are responsive to
the recomvendatt~os in the GAO report. (RRS)
