In a Coveport Logistics predictive project, the PM determines that a vendor's FPIF contract has reached the ceiling price. The vendor claims that unforeseen 'Enterprise Environmental Factors' caused the overrun and demands additional payment.

What should the PM do?

  1. Inform the vendor that 'Fixed Price' means the risk is 100% theirs and no further analysis is needed, before confirming the relevant stakeholders agree.
  2. Submit a change request to the CCB to convert the contract to Cost Plus Fixed Fee (CPFF).
  3. Review the contract's 'Force Majeure' and change provisions to determine if the claim is valid under the existing terms.
  4. Pay the vendor from the project's management reserve to avoid a stop-work situation.
