WORK DIRECTIVE CHANGE INSTRUCTIONS A . 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 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 Price or the Contract Time , a Field Order may be used . Be 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 . U the Work Directive Change is not Iikely 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 1 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 " . 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- 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 IS A DIRECTIVE TO PROCEED WITH A CHANGE THAT MAY AFFECT THE CONTRACT PRICE OR THE CONTRACT TIME . A CHANGE ORDER , IF ANY , SHOULD BE CONSIDERED PROMPTLY . 1 00800- 17 _ -
