DocuSign Envelope ID:OEE5F167-D7B1-41B1-A2DC-6B885C50EO84 <br /> Change Order <br /> Instructions <br /> A. GENERAL INFORMATION <br /> This document was developed to provide a uniform format for handling contract changes that affect Contract Price or <br /> Contract Times. Changes that have been initiated by a Work Change Directive must be incorporated into a subsequent <br /> 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 practice of <br /> accumulating Change Orders to reduce the administrative burden may lead to unnecessary disputes. <br /> If Milestones have been listed in the Agreement,any effect of a Change Order thereon should be addressed. <br /> For supplemental instructions and minor changes not involving a change in the Contract Price or Contract Times, a Field <br /> 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 upon <br /> 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 approval, <br /> depending on whether the Change Order is a true order to the Contractor or the formalization of a negotiated agreement <br /> for a previously performed change. After approval by one contracting party, all copies should be sent to the other party for <br /> approval. Engineer should make distribution of executed copies after 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 /> EJCDC No.C-941(2002 Edition) Page 2 of 2 <br />
