News
Join us Dec. 5 for GACO’s 31st for Wage Rates, Contract Changes, and How to Avoid Conflict: A Seminar on Federal Construction
Contracting.
Government contracting attorney, Maria L. Panichelli, will discuss how to determine
if a government request constitutes a “change” to the contract, and the types of changes
that are most likely to cause conflicts. Special attention will be given to communication,
professionalism, and the proper role of performance reviews in the negotiation process.
