I let Dan know there will need to be an FY23 IDES Phase 2 contract amendment and a Phase 3 continuation contract, due to the unlikelihood of the IDES engagement being finalized by 6/30/2024. I informed him that I proposed reducing the Phase 2 contract by 5% of the original hours and fee, and creating a Phase 3 contract with that same 5% hours and fees, for no net change in the total cost. I provided him proposed amended and continuation timelines for the engagements and asked him to review and let me know if they were feasible.
