CHANGE ORDER <br />INSTRUCTIONS <br />A. GENERAL INFORMATION <br />This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect <br />Contract Price or Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be <br />incorporated into 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 <br />disputes. <br />If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement, any effect of a Change Order thereon should be <br />addressed. <br />For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract <br />Times, 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 <br />upon 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 <br />approval, depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a <br />negotiated agreement for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting <br />should be sent to the other party for approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed reopies after <br />approval by both parties. <br />If a change only applies to price or to times, cross out the part of the tabulation that does not apply. <br />00800-28 <br />
