Common use of Alteration in Character of Work Clause in Contracts

Alteration in Character of Work. Whenever an alteration in the character of work results in a substantial change in this Agreement, thereby materially increasing or decreasing the scope of services, cost of performance, or Project schedule, the work will be performed as directed by City. However, before any modified work is started, a written amendment must be approved and executed by City and Consultant. Such amendment must not be effective until approved by City. Additions to, modifications, or deletions from this Agreement as provided herein may be made, and the compensation to be paid to Consultant may accordingly be adjusted by mutual agreement of the Parties. It is distinctly understood and agreed that no claim for extra services or materials furnished by Consultant will be allowed by City except as provided herein, nor must Consultant do any work or furnish any materials not covered by this Agreement unless such work is first authorized in writing. Any such work or materials furnished by Consultant without prior written authorization will be at Consultant’s own risk, cost, and expense, and Consultant hereby agrees that without written authorization Consultant will make no claim for compensation for such work or materials furnished.
