Change Documents. 8.1.1 The Owner, without invalidating the Contract, may order changes in the Work within the general scope of the Contract consisting of additions, deletions or other revisions, the Contract Price and the Contract Time being adjusted accordingly. All such changes in the Work shall be authorized by applicable Change Document, and shall be performed under the applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. The Owner and Contractor shall negotiate in good faith an appropriate adjustment to the Contract Price and Contract Time and shall conclude these negotiations as expeditiously as possible. Acceptance of the Change Document and any adjustment in the Contract Price or the Contract Time shall not be unreasonably withheld.
Change Documents. 7.1. This section will govern changes to the Agreement, or any Task Order issued under the Agreement, whether such changes involve an increase in the Annual Maximum Payment Amount or not. Changes in Services or other aspect of this Agreement shall be made by written document ("Change Document" or " Unilateral Change Document").2 All changes shall be implemented pursuant to this subsection (the "Change Document Procedures") and any Applicable Law.
Change Documents. The original schedule of tasks and the programme was compared to the actual schedule of activities. Events that caused changes to the schedule were reviewed to see how the use of contingency reserves and float mitigated the disruption caused by those events. The original estimates of contingency time were reviewed to determine if they were adequate and if the estimates of duration and float were accurate. (These activities are necessary for the project team to develop expertise in estimating schedule elements in future projects.)
Change Documents. This segment of the report provides an analytical review of the ImmuHubs project's scheduling and execution in light of two international crises: the COVID-19 crisis, and the conflict in Ukraine, both of which necessitated recalibrations of the project's timeline and a strategic approach to deliverable and milestone achievements. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly impacted the planned course of activities, as work had to be done remotely during the entire first half of the project period. The Interim Meeting at THL in Helsinki served as an inflection point, all partners finally met in person, and physical ImmuHubs could be opened safely. The project team adapted by modifying timelines and reallocating resources. Notably, the timeline for the small COVID study in WP3 was restructured to align with the changing public health landscape and changing policy landscape in Finland and elsewhere after the pandemic. Two tools were built that are now open to all types of respiratory infections that have since become vaccine preventable: COVID, influenza, and RSV, as well as pneumococcal pneumonia. In fact, these tools will allow regulatory agencies and stakeholders to. respond better to future public health crises of similar dimension. Additionally, the project's ability to adapt to these unexpected changes was facilitated by maintaining a resilient approach to scheduling and employing the contingency reserves effectively. Moreover, the symptom survey, a key component of the project, experienced an impact due to the pandemic. The target numbers for the survey were reassessed due to the constraints brought about by COVID-19. This change highlighted the necessity of having adaptive strategies in place to accommodate significant variations in data collection activities, ensuring that valuable insights were still gathered within the revised scope. The original contingency plans, including the time and float estimations, were evaluated against the actual disruptions caused by the pandemic. The review aimed to determine the adequacy of the initial contingency provisions and the accuracy of the project's schedule and float estimates. These considerations are crucial for the project team to develop and refine expertise in estimating and managing schedule elements for future projects, especially in scenarios with high degrees of uncertainty. The project's response to the pandemic and other unforeseen events underscores the importance of flexibility in project scheduling. The...
