Administering a bridge contract

If the anticipated contract is awarded: 1. Read the contract. 2. Follow the terms, conditions and requirements of the contract, scope of work, specifications, drawings, etc. 3. Construct or repair the bridge as appropriate.

If you are talking about an extension of services under FAR Clause 52.217-8, continue performing for the increased/extended contract period and seek an adjustment as may be appropriate if there is a wage determination that changed.

not sure if you were being a smartass in point 1, but I believe the poster is referring to a contract to bridge current supplies/services until the requirement is either a) recompeted or B ) the new sole source contract is negotiated.

jpaynehydroid - Honestly, it depends on what Navy organization you are contracting with and what for, because recent guidance has been issued by many of the systems commands regarding bridge contracts for services. I'm not sure how much it affects you on the contractor side, but the Government side will have a much tougher time with it and justifying the need for it.
