During the opening rounds of contract negotiation, the other party uses a fait accompli tactic. Which of the following statements is true about fait accompli tactics?
A.
One party claims the issue under discussion was documented and accepted as part of Scope Verification.
B.
One party claims the issue under discussion has already been decided and can’t be changed.
C.
One party claims to accept the offer of the other party, provided a contract change request is submitted describing the offer in detail.
D.
One party agrees to accept the offer of the other party but secretly knows they will bring the issue back up at a later time.
Explanation:
Fait accompli is a tactic used during contract negotiations where one party convinces the other that the particular issue is no longer relevant or cannot be changed. Option B is not correct because Scope Verification does not generally occur during contract negotiations since the work of the project has not yet been performed.
