In the Pre-Digital Age (PDA - that's right, in the Dawn of Time), myself and another newly-hired GS-7 at the US Bureau of Mines (now history) were given the task of simplifying the multiplicity and redundancy of Bureau contract and grant terms and conditions. Just the two of us, in a conference room, no budget. We came up with a basic form of Ts & Cs, with 3 or 4 supplement documents for different contract/grant types. The supplements would "overlay" the baseline document and self-add/delete provisions to tailor to the need at hand . . . and this was all low-tech, namely, paper. We got an attaboy and a monetary award. Simpler times, simpler solutions.Dick Fieldnoreply@blogger.com
