Attention: John C. Subject: Task Order No. 22 In response to your recent request regarding the overrun of direct cost on the subject contract, the following information will justify the additional costs expended during the period of performance of this contract. The Image Quantizer and Enlarger-Printer instruments delivered under this program required considerably more design and manufacturing hours than was ? originally anticipated. This was due to the complexity and technical difficulties of the instruments. This additional cost was necessary in order to successfully complete the technical requirements of the program. Secondly, the guard service cost was initially anticipated to be for a period of nine months instead of twelve months. Also an additional cost per hour clue to a wage rate increase occured during the middle of the program. This increased cost was not taken into consideration at the time of negotiations. This additional effort was done in good faith based on verbal approvel from the Contracting Officer and the Technical Representative. The excess costs incurred were further discussed during negotiations of the follow-on contract and the overrun approved predicated on audit review of booked. costs. A formal written request was forwarded on 31 December 1968 to the Contracting Officer regarding the claim for the total overrun. .-We trust the above information will be favorably received and that the overrun will be funded. Sincerely yours, Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/11/01: CIA-RDP79B00873A000100010075-1
