of the approved Change Order or Construction Change Directive will be mailed to
<br />all sureties upon its receipt by me."
<br />If this requirement is exercised, no payment to the Contractor on account of any Change
<br />Order or Construction Change Directive shall become due or payable until written evidence
<br />of the surety's consent to the Change Order or Construction Change Directive has been
<br />furnished to the CM, and the furnishing of such written consent is a condition precedent to
<br />such payment.
<br />14.9 The Contractor shall support all requests for Change Orders with a detailed cost
<br />breakdown showing cost of materials, labor, equipment, transportation, other items,
<br />Contractor's overhead and profit, and total cost, in accordance with methods defined in this
<br />Article, and, if the request seeks an extension of the Contract Time, with atime-related
<br />diagram which demonstrates specifically why an increase in construction time is needed.
<br />14.10 When a request for a Change Order involves a Subcontractor, the Contractor shall provide
<br />quotation from same on Subcontractor's letterhead. The Subcontractor's quote shall list
<br />materials, equipment, and labor separately, and show overhead and profit in the manner
<br />provided in paragraph 14.9.
<br />ARTICLE 15. CHANGE OF THE CONTRACT PRICE
<br />15.1 The Contract Price constitutes the total compensation payable to the Contractor for
<br />performing all Work under the Contract Documents. All duties, responsibilities, and
<br />obligations assigned to or undertaken by the Contractor shall be at its expense without
<br />change in the Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order.
<br />15.2 Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be in writing. Written notice of any
<br />event, action, or non-action which may become the basis of a claim shall be delivered to
<br />the CM within three (3) days of the occurrence, or the beginning of the occurrence, of any
<br />such event, action or non-action giving rise to the claim. Such written notice is a condition
<br />precedent to the making of a claim, and such notice shall describe the basis of the potential
<br />claim with reasonable detail and clarity.
<br />A claim shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the CM no later than fourteen
<br />(14) days after such notice. The claim shall describe in detail the basis for the claim, with
<br />specific reference to any provisions of the Contract Documents, by paragraph, drawing
<br />number, or other specific identification, and shall state the amount claimed and how it is
<br />calculated. If the Contractor, at the time the claim is made, is unable to state the amount
<br />claimed with accuracy, the Contractor shall so state and provide the estimated amount and
<br />the basis on which the amount is to be calculated. At the earliest date practicable, but in no
<br />event more than thirty (30) days after Contractor's notice of claim, the Contractor shall
<br />supplement the claim with an accurate statement of the amount claimed and how it has
<br />been calculated. The Contractor shall provide, in writing, in support of the claim all such
<br />explanations, arguments, data, receipts, expert opinions, or other documents or information
<br />as the Contractor deems appropriate to be considered in support of the claim. A claim may
<br />properly be rejected by the CM by reason of the Contractor's failure to submit adequate or
<br />accurate documentation or information, except that within seven (7) days after being given
<br />notice that the claim has been rejected on this basis, the Contractor may submit additional
<br />documentation or information. No claim for a change of the Contract Price shall be
<br />considered or granted (except solely at the discretion of the CM) unless a claim is so made,
<br />nor shall the Contractor be entitled to any increase in the Contract Price unless the
<br />Contractor has given notice and made such a written claim within the times required. The
<br />CM shall decide, after obtaining the advice of the Owner and the Designer, whether an
<br />increase in Contract Price is warranted, and the amount of such increase shall be
