33 <br /> <br />Revised 01/24 <br /> <br />14.8 The Contractor shall support all requests for Change Orders with a detailed cost <br />breakdown showing cost of materials, labor, equipment, transportation, other items, Contractor's <br />overhead and profit, and total cost, in accordance with methods defined in this Article, and, if the <br />request seeks an extension of the Contract Time, with a time-related diagram which <br />demonstrates specifically why an increase in construction time is needed. <br /> <br />14.9 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 14.8. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 15. CHANGE OF THE CONTRACT PRICE <br /> <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 obligations <br />assigned to or undertaken by the Contractor shall be at his expense without change in the <br />Contract Price. The Contract Price may only be changed by a Change Order. <br /> <br />15.2 Any claim for an adjustment in the Contract Price shall be in writing and written notice of <br />any event, action, or non-action which may become the basis of a claim shall be delivered to the <br />Owner and the Designer within three (3) days of the occurrence of any such event, action or <br />non-action giving rise to the claim. Such written notice is a condition precedent to the making of <br />a claim, and such notice shall describe the basis of the potential claim with reasonable detail <br />and clarity. <br /> <br />A claim shall be made in writing and shall be delivered to the Designer and the Owner no later <br />than fourteen (14) days after such notice. The claim shall describe in detail the basis for the <br />claim, with specific reference to any provisions of the Contract Documents, by paragraph, <br />drawing 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 the <br />basis on which the amount is to be calculated. At the earliest date practicable, but in no event <br />more than thirty (30) days after Contractor's notice of claim, the Contractor shall supplement the <br />claim with an accurate statement of the amount claimed and how it has been calculated. The <br />Contractor shall provide, in writing, in support of the claim all such explanations, arguments, <br />data, receipts, expert opinions, or other documents or information as the Contractor deems <br />appropriate to be considered in support of the claim. <br /> <br />A claim may properly be rejected by the Owner by reason of the Contractor's failure to submit <br />adequate or accurate documentation or information, except that within seven (7) days after <br />being given notice that the claim has been rejected on this basis, the Contractor may submit <br />additional 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 Owner) unless a claim is so made, <br />nor shall the Contractor be entitled to any increase in the Contract Price unless the Contractor <br />has given notice and made such a written claim within the times required. The Owner shall <br />decide, after obtaining the advice of the <br />Designer, whether an increase in Contract Price is warranted, and the amount of such increase <br />shall be determined as provided in paragraph 15.4 through 15.5, below. Any change in the <br />Contract Price resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated in a Change Order. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 687B9CC7-F1BC-43DB-A291-A8D859EFA3B2
