Mixed contracts
7 entries in this section. Every term is a link — open one for the full definition, its sources, and related entries.
- ADOR's reallocation right The Department's power to re-sort itemized charges that do not match the work described. It runs one way — a contractor has no matching right.
- Artificial separation Splitting project elements out of a contract to get alteration under the threshold. Prohibited by statute — and ADOR carries the burden of proving it happened.
- Bucket ADOR's term for each activity type a mixed contract is sorted into before the 15% test is applied.
- Combined modification charges The numerator of the 15% test: every modification charge in the contract, added together.
- De minimis The 15% test. Modification activity inside an MRRA contract is disregarded when it is 15% or less of the total contract.
- Itemization A gating precondition. The mixed-contract analysis is available only where the charge for each activity type is separately identified.
- Lump sum A contract stating one price with no breakdown by activity. Without back-end records, the mixed-contract analysis is unavailable.
