(a)(1) The contracting officer may insert in contracts a clause substantially the same as
1852.243-70, Engineering Change Proposals, when ECPs are expected. Paragraphs (c) and (d) of the basic clause and Alternate I of the clause shall be changed to reflect the specific type of contract.
(2) If it is desirable to preclude a large number of small-dollar, contractor-initiated engineering changes and to reduce the administrative cost of reviewing them, the contracting officer shall use the clause with its Alternate I.
(3) If the contract is a cost-reimbursement type, the contracting officer shall use the clause with its Alternate II.
(b) The contracting officer may insert a clause substantially as stated at 1852.243-72, Equitable Adjustments, in solicitations and contracts for -
(1) Dismantling, demolishing, or removing improvements; or
(2) Construction, when the contract amount is expected to exceed the simplified acquisition threshold and a fixed-price contract is contemplated.
