No adjustment in the Guaranteed Maximum Price or the Scheduled Completion Date shall be made <br />unless such change, refinement or detailing results in changes in the scope and/or design of the <br />Project, as determined by the Owner. <br /> <br />32.4. The Owner’s Representative has the authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving an <br />adjustment in the GMP or time for completion, and not inconsistent with the intent of the <br />Construction Documents. Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on <br />the Owner and the CMAR. The CMAR shall not perform any changes in the Work unless <br />authorized in writing by the Owner. The CMAR’s performance of minor changes pursuant to this <br />section shall not constitute a waiver of any claim the CMAR may have for additional compensation <br />or time. Any claim the CMAR may have, however, shall be filed in strict conformance with this <br />Contract. <br /> <br />32.5. No Change Order will be issued for resolution of conflicts in the docum ents which are to be <br />covered by the CMAR-GMP Contingency. <br /> <br />32.6. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no change shall be made by the CMAR <br />except upon receipt of approved change order or written field order from the Project Designer, <br />countersigned by the Owner’s representative authorizing such change. No claim for increases in the <br />GMP shall be honored or valid unless this procedure is followed. A field order, transmitted by fax <br />or hand-delivered, may be used where the change involved impacts the critical path of the Work. A <br />formal change order shall be issued within the time stated on the field order. <br /> <br />32.7. The CMAR shall notify the Owner in writing (and copy to Project Designer) if the CMAR believes <br />that a change in scope or design will require a change in the GMP. The Owner shall have the right <br />to require the performance thereof on a lump sum basis, a unit price not to exceed basis, or a time <br />and material not to exceed basis. <br /> <br />32.8. The CMAR shall notify the Project Designer and the Own er of such changes before trade bids for <br />the Work associated are requested. The Owner and CMAR shall reach agreement on the nature of <br />the subject change and upon the Owner’s direction eliminate the circumstances of the change or <br />negotiate a mutually agreed cost change to be made to the GMP. <br />32.9. The CMAR acknowledges that some changes in the Project may require approval by the Board. So <br />as not to delay the Project, the CMAR shall notify the Owner’s representative of any deadlines for <br />responses and how the Owner’s failure to respond will impact the Project schedule. <br /> <br />32.10. Upon receipt of an Owner directed change request, the CMAR shall submit a proposal within ten <br />(10) working days, or provide written justification acceptable to the Owner within five (5) working <br />days stating the additional time required to submit a proper proposal for the change requested. The <br />CMAR's proposal shall be itemized and segregated by labor and materials for the various <br />components of the change in or addition to the Work (no a ggregate labor total will be acceptable) <br />and shall be accompanied by signed proposals by any Subcontractors who will perform any portion <br />of the change in, or addition to, the Work, and of any persons who will furnish materials or <br />equipment for incorporation therein. The proposal shall also include the CMAR's estimate of the <br />time required to perform said changes or additional Work. <br /> <br />32.11. There will be no CMAR mark-up or Fee included in any single change order covering Work under <br />this Contract. Rather, change order proposals will consist of actual costs only; that is, <br />Subcontractors’ change order proposals and CMAR General Conditions items, if applicable, only. <br />All costs saved by scope reductions shall revert to the Owner in full. Any increase in CMAR Fee <br />shall be calculated separately from individual change orders, subject to the limits set forth in <br />Paragraph 3.3 herein. <br />Docusign Envelope ID: 5A9E3BC2-EAE1-4C35-82D9-B4D6A375FA78
