Common use of Changes and Extra Work Clause in Contracts

Changes and Extra Work. A. DISTRICT may, as provided by law and, without invalidating this Contract, order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or deducting from work and the Contract sum shall be adjusted accordingly. Upon a change order request by the DISTRICT or the DISTRICT’S representative, the CONTRACTOR shall submit a breakdown of all costs and/or credits incurred to accomplish the requested change, including subcontractor(s) and supplier(s) written quotations for the extra work or change in work. The breakdown shall be of sufficient detail to allow justification of additional costs and/or credits. CONTRACTOR shall submit the actual completed takeoff and pricing. Time extension(s) will not be granted for insufficient breakdown data that requires re-submittal, or for pricing that in the judgment of the DISTRICT is not consistent with reasonable cost. All the Work shall be subject to the conditions of this Contract and it shall be in accordance with all applicable legal requirements including, but not limited to, the provisions of Title 24 of the California Code of Regulations except that any claim for extension of time caused by changes shall be adjusted at the time of ordering the change. DISTRICT has the discretionary authority to order changes on a time and material basis, with adjustments to time, made after CONTRACTOR has justified, through documentation, the impact on the critical path of the Project. The issuance of a change order pursuant to this Section in connection with any change authorized by the DISTRICT under this Section shall not be deemed a condition precedent to CONTRACTOR’s obligation to promptly commence and diligently complete any such change authorized in writing by the DISTRICT hereunder. The DISTRICT's right to make changes shall not invalidate the Contract nor relieve the CONTRACTOR of any liability or other obligations under the Contract Documents. Any requirement of notice of changes in the scope of Work to the Surety shall be the responsibility of the CONTRACTOR. The DISTRICT may make changes to bring the Work or the Project into compliance with environmental requirements or standards established by local, state or federal statutes, codes, ordinances, and/or regulations enacted after award of the Contract.
