CHANGE ORDER <br /> INSTRUCTIONS <br /> A. GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract <br /> Price or Contract Times . Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into <br /> a subsequent Change Order if they affect Price or Times . <br /> Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Times should be promptly covered by a Change Order. The <br /> practice of accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes . <br /> If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed. <br /> For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times, <br /> a Field Order should be used . <br /> B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM <br /> Engineer normally initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attachments based upon <br /> documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from Owner, or both . <br /> Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner or Contractor for approval, <br /> depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated <br /> agreement for a previously performed change . After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent <br /> to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by both <br /> parties . <br /> If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply. <br /> 6706-38392\8/20/03 00800-20 VRB <br />
