 5 . 1 P r o p o r t i o n : Keep the value of the work in mind. It may
sometimes be advantageous not to issue numerous Amendments for
n o n c r i t i c a l changes that can be deferred, especially those that
d o not affect cost. Numerous minor changes may be covered with
simple statements. Combine numerous minor changes into one
Amendment.
5 . 2 T i m e l i n e s s : Bidders must be given corrections and
a d d i t i o n a l information in time to actually use them in the
p r e p a r a t i o n of bids. Questionable matters should not remain
u n c l a r i f i e d . It is NAVFAC policy and in conformance to the
requirement of NAVFAC P-68, Paragraph 14-208, that an Amendment
not be issued within 10 days of bid opening date. A minimum of
10 calendar days should be allowed between issuance of an
Amendment and the date for bid opening, except, when in case of
emergency, a Level I Contracting Officer makes a determination
t h a t a shorter time period is appropriate.

b y issuing a few simple inadequate statements in a hastily
prepared Amendment. I f it is imperative that a last-minute
Amendment be issued, advise the PDE.
5 . 4 C l a r i t y : B i d d e r s often wish to forward copies of
A m e n d m e n t s to Subcontractors for insertion into working sets of
documents. The Amendments should be easily reproducible by.
