            Conduct of Work and Technical Guidance (FEB 2006)

    (a) The Government Technical Representative (GTR) for liaison with 
the contractor as to the conduct of work is [to be inserted at time of 
award] or a successor designated by the Contracting Officer. The 
Contracting Officer will notify the contractor in writing of any change 
to the current GTR's status or the designation of a successor GTR.
    (b) The GTR will provide guidance to the contractor on the technical 
performance of the contract. Such guidance shall not be of a nature 
which:
    (1) Causes the contractor to perform work outside the statement of 
work or specifications of the contract;
    (2) Constitutes a change as defined in FAR 52.243-1;
    (3) Causes an increase or decrease in the cost of the contract;
    (4) Alters the period of performance or delivery dates; or
    (5) Changes any of the other express terms or conditions of the 
contract.
    (c) The GTR will issue technical guidance in writing or, if issued 
orally, he/she will confirm such direction in writing within five 
calendar days after oral issuance. The GTR may issue such guidance via 
telephone, facsimile (fax), or electronic mail.
    (d) Certain of the GTR's duties and responsibilities may be 
delegated to one or more Government Technical Monitors (GTMs) (see HUDAR 
subpart 2402.1). The Contracting Officer will notify the contractor in 
writing of the appointment of any GTMs.
    (e) Other specific limitations [to be inserted by Contracting 
Officer]:
    (f) The contractor shall promptly notify the Contracting Officer 
whenever the contractor believes that guidance provided by any 
government personnel, whether or not specifically provided pursuant to 
this clause, is of a nature described in paragraph (b) above.

                             (End of clause)
