Common use of Authority Changes – Process and Implementation Clause in Contracts

Authority Changes – Process and Implementation. As soon as practicable after the Authority receives the Change Proposal, the Parties shall discuss and agree the issues set out in the Change Proposal. In such discussions the Authority may modify the Authority Notice of Change and the Contractor shall, as soon as practicable, and in any event not more than ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such modification, notify the Authority of any consequential changes to the Change Proposal. As soon as practicable after the contents of the Change Proposal have been agreed or otherwise determined pursuant to Clause A21 (Dispute Resolution), the Authority shall: confirm in writing the Change Proposal (as modified); or withdraw the Authority Notice of Change. If the Authority does not confirm in writing the Change Proposal (as modified) within thirty (30) Business Days of the contents of the Change Proposal having been agreed in accordance with clause 7 below or determined pursuant to clause 8 below, then the Authority Notice of Change shall be deemed to have been withdrawn. In the event that the Change Proposal has been confirmed by the Authority, then the adjustment to any amount payable by the Authority to the Contractor in respect of any Contractor Deliverables to which the Authority Change relates shall place the Contractor in no better and no worse a financial position than would be the case had the Authority Change not been implemented.
