Can a single construction contract include work that is included in a DSA application as well as work that is not?
While DSA rules allow this to occur, it is a confusing situation for all parties, especially the contractor and the inspector. For example, when changes are necessary, the changes that apply to the DSA application work must be processed through DSA for approval. However, when the work is not a part of the DSA application, it would not require DSA approval. It may not always be clear whether a particular issue is a part of the DSA portion of the contract or not. It is recommended that separate contracts be written in this situation if at all possible.
