CHANGE ORDER <br />INSTRUCTIONS <br />A. GENERAL INFORMATION <br />This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes <br />that affect Contract Price or Contract Time. Changes that have been initiated by a Work <br />Directive Change must be incorporated into a subsequent Change Order if they affect <br />Price or Time. <br />Changes that affect Contract Price or Contract Time should be promptly covered by a <br />Change Order. The practice of accumulating change order items to reduce the adminis- <br />trative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes. <br />For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract <br />Price or Contract Time, a Field Order may be used. <br />B. COMPLETING THE CHANGE ORDER FORM <br />Engineer initiates the form, including a description of the changes involved and attach- <br />ments based upon documents and proposals submitted by Contractor, or requests from <br />Owner, or both. <br />Once Engineer has completed and signed the form, all copies should be sent to Contractor <br />for approval. After approval by Contractor, all copies should be sent to Owner for <br />approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after approval by Owner. <br />If a change only applies to price or to time, cross out the part of the tabulation that does <br />not apply. <br />
