OM DENNE EPISODE
In federal construction, some of the most dangerous project decisions happen through casual field conversations and verbal direction.
In this episode, former NAVFAC Contracting Officer Chris Williams explains why contractors quietly lose leverage when they rely on verbal direction from CORs and technical personnel without properly protecting entitlement.
This episode discusses:
- COR authority in DoD construction contracting
- Why verbal direction creates REA risk
- The difference between technical coordination and contractual authorization
- How Contracting Officers evaluate authority and documentation
- Why professional documentation discipline matters during execution
If you work in NAVFAC, USACE, or broader federal construction contracting, this episode will change how you think about verbal direction and execution strategy.
