WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE <br />INSTRUCTIONS <br />A. GENERAL INFORMATION <br />This document was developed for use in situations involving changes in the Work which, if not <br />processed expeditiously, might delay the Project. These changes are often initiated in the field and <br />may affect the Contract Price or the Contract Times. This is not a Change Order, but only a directive <br />to proceed with Work that may be included in a subsequent Change Order. <br />For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or the <br />Contract Times a Field Order should be used. <br />B. COMPLETING THE WORK CHANGE DIRECTIVE FORM <br />Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the items involved and attachments. <br />Based on conversations between Engineer and Contractor, Engineer completes the following: <br />METHOD OF DETERMINING CHANGE, IF ANY, IN CONTRACT PRICE: Mark the method <br />to be used in determining the final cost of Work involved and the estimated net effect on the <br />Contract Price. If change involves an increase in the Contract Price and the estimated <br />amount is approached before the additional or changed Work is completed, another Work <br />Change Directive must be issued to change the estimated price or Contractor may stop the <br />changed Work when the estimates time is reached. If Work Change Directive is not likely to <br />change the Contract Price, the space for estimated increase (decrease) should be marked <br />"Not Applicable". <br />Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Owner for <br />authorization because Engineer alone does not have authority to authorize changes in Price or <br />Times. Once authorized by Owner, a copy should be sent by Engineer to Contractor. Price and <br />Times may only be changed by Change Order signed by Owner and Contractor with Engineer's__ _ <br />recommendation. - - <br />Paragraph 10.03.A.2 of the General Conditions requires that a Change Order be initiated and <br />processed to cover any undisputed sum or amount of time for Work actually performed pursuant to <br />this Work Change Directive. <br />Once the Work covered by this directive is completed or final cost and times are determined, <br />Contractor should submit documentation for inclusion in a Change Order. <br />THIS IS A DIRECTIVE TO PROCEED WITH A CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT THE CONTRACT <br />PRICE OR CONTRACT TIMES. A CHANGE ORDER, IF ANY, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED <br />PROMPTLY. <br />00800-26 <br />
