WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE INSTRUCTIONS L GENERAL INFORMATION This document was developed for use in situations involving changes in the Work which , if not processed expeditiously, might delay the Project . These changes are often initiated in the field and may affect the Contract Price or the Contract Times . This is not a Change Order, but only a directive to proceed with Work that may be included in a subsequent Change Order. For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or the Contract Times a Field Order should be used . 2 . COMPLETING THE WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE FORM Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the items involved and attachments . Based on conversations between Engineer and Contractor, Engineer completes the following : METHOD OF DETERMINING CHANGE , IF ANY , IN CONTRACT PRICE : Mark the method to be used in determining the final cost of Work involved and the estimated net effect on the Contract Price . If change involves an increase in the Contract Price and the estimated amount is approached before the additional or changed Work is completed , another Work Change Directive must be issued to change the estimated price or Contractor may stop the changed Work when the estimates time is reached . If Work Change Directive is not likely to change the Contract Price , the space for estimated increase (decrease) should be marked "Not Applicable" . Once Engineer has completed and signed the form , all copies should be sent to Owner for authorization because Engineer alone does not have authority to authorize changes in Price or Times . Once authorized by Owner, a copy should be sent by Engineer to Contractor. Price and Times may only be changed by Change Order signed by Owner and Contractor with Engineer ' s recommendation .
