What is the maximum number of times a one-time single project increase can be submitted in a year?

The maximum number of times a one-time single project increase can be submitted in a year is indeed five. This policy is in place to ensure that contractors have sufficient opportunities to manage their project scope effectively without requiring frequent, formal adjustments to their original agreements. Allowing up to five submissions balances flexibility for contractors while maintaining a level of oversight to prevent potential abuse of the system. This means that contractors can adapt to unforeseen circumstances or changes in project requirements relatively easily, which can be crucial in the construction industry where project conditions may change rapidly.
