40 • M WORK i11RECiIVE CHANGE iNSTRUGT ONS A. GENERAL INFORMATION This document was developed for use in situations inirolving 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 Time. 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 Puce or the Contract Time, a Field Order may be used. B. COMPLETING THE WORK DIRECTIVE CHANGE FORM • Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the items involved and attachments. Based on conversations between Engineer and Contractor, Engineer completes the fol- lowing. 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 net effect on the Contract Price. If the change involves an increase in the Contract Price and the estimated amount is approached before the additional or changed Work is completed, another Work Directive Change must be issued to change the time or Contractor may stop the changed Work when the estimated time is reached. If the Work Directive Change is not likely to change the Contract Time, the space for estimated increase (decrease) should be marked "Not Applicable". METHOD OF DETERMINING CHANGE, IF ANY, IN CONTRACT TIME: Mark the method to be used in determining the change in Contract Time and the estimated increase or decrease in Contract Time. If the change involves an increase in the Contract Time and the estimated time is approached before the additional or changed Work is completed, another Work Directive Change must be issued to change the time or Contractor may stop the changed Work when the estimated time is reached. If the Work Directive Change is not likely to change the Contract Time, the space for estimated increase (decrease) should be marked "Not Applicable". I 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 Time. Once authorized by Owner, a copy should be sent by Engineer to Con- x' tractor. Once the Work covered by this directive is completed or final cost and time determined, Contractor should submit documentation for inclusion in a Change Order. THIS I5 A DIRECI`IVE TO PROCEED WITH A CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT 4 THE CONTRACT PRICE ORTHE CONTRACT TIME. A CHANGE ORDER, IF ANY, SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PROMPTLY. 00600-34
