Common use of Changes in the Work Clause in Contracts

Changes in the Work. 12.1 Owner shall have the right at any time during the progress of the Work, without invalidating the Contract, to change, increase or decrease the Work. Except in an emergency endangering life or property, no addition or changes to the Work shall be made except upon written order of Owner, and Owner shall not be liable to Construction Contractor for any increased compensation or adjustment to the Contract Time without such written order. Accordingly, no course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor express or implied acceptance of alterations or additions to the Work, and no claim that Owner has been unjustly enriched by any alteration of or addition to the Work, whether or not there is, in fact, any unjust enrichment to the Work, shall be a basis of any claim to an increase in any amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period provided in the Contract Documents. No officer, employee or agent of Owner is authorized to direct any extra or changed work orally. Construction Contractor shall familiarize itself with Owner’s Change Order approval process and shall manage progress of the Work accordingly. 12.1.1 Promptly after being notified of a change, but in no event more than fourteen (14) days after its receipt of such notification (unless Owner has agreed in writing to a longer period of time), Construction Contractor shall submit an itemized estimate of any cost or time increases or savings it foresees as a result of the change. Construction Contractor’s estimate shall include an analysis of impacts to cost and time, if any, to perform additional work, or delete Work, as applicable, including the effects and impacts, if any, on unchanged Work, estimates of costs and Construction Contractor’s proposed methods to minimize costs, delay and disruption to the performance of the Work. If Construction Contractor fails to submit a written proposal or request additional time for submitting the proposal within the fourteen (14) day time period, it shall be presumed that the change described in Owner’s request for a proposed change will not result in a modification to the Contract Amount or Contract Time and, if directed by Owner in writing, the change shall be performed by Construction Contractor without additional compensation. Owner’s request for a proposed change does not authorize Construction Contractor to commence performance of the change, unless otherwise specified in writing. If Owner decides that the proposed change be performed, the Work shall be authorized according to Change Order or Construction Change Directive procedures set forth herein. 12.1.2 If Construction Contractor observes any circumstance that may, in its opinion, be a change in the scope of the Work that justifies a change to the Contract Amount or Contract Time or Construction Contractor otherwise becomes aware of the need for or desirability of a change in the Work, then Construction Contractor may submit a written Change Order Request (“COR”) (to be followed by substantiating data), in a format acceptable to Owner, and must specify the reasons for such proposed change, including relevant circumstances and impacts on the schedule. Construction Contractor shall submit a written price proposal concurrently with the COR. Contractor may request additional compensation and/or time through a COR but not for instances that Construction Contractor knew or reasonably should have known occurred more than fourteen (14) days prior to the date the COR is submitted. Construction Contractor’s failure to initiate a COR within such period shall be deemed a waiver of the right to adjustment of the Contract Amount or the Contract Time for the alleged change. Any such COR that is approved by Owner will be incorporated in a Change Order or Construction Change Directive. If Owner determines that the Work in question is not a change in the scope of the Work and the COR is denied but Construction Contractor believes that it does have merit, the Contractor may submit a Claim in accordance with the procedures set forth herein. 12.2 A Change Order, in the form attached as Exhibit H to the Agreement, shall be prepared by Construction Contractor, reviewed by Design Professional and Owner, and executed promptly by the parties after an agreement is reached between Construction Contractor and Owner concerning requested changes. Construction Contractor shall promptly perform changes authorized by duly executed Change Orders. The Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted in the Change Order in the manner as Owner and Construction Contractor shall mutually agree. Agreement on any Change Order shall constitute a final settlement of all matters relating to the change in the Work that is the subject of the Change Order, including all direct and indirect costs associated with such change and any and all adjustments to the Contract Amount and the Contract Time. 12.3 If Owner and Construction Contractor are unable to agree on a Change Order for a requested change, Construction Contractor shall, nevertheless, promptly perform the change as directed by Owner in a written Construction Change Directive. In that event, the Contract Amount and Contract Time shall be adjusted as directed by Owner. If Construction Contractor disagrees with Owner’s adjustment determination, Construction Contractor must make a Claim pursuant to Section 13 of these General Terms and Conditions or else be deemed to have waived any Claim it might otherwise have had on that matter. 12.4 In the event a requested change is approved by Owner which results in either an increase or decrease to the Contract Amount, a Change Order shall be issued which increases or decreases the GMP by the amount of Construction Contractor’s actual and reasonable direct Cost of the Work (including bond premiums). In the event such change Work is performed by subcontractors or sub-subcontractors, a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for each of those subcontractors and sub-subcontractors for all overhead and profit on their direct labor and material costs and actual equipment costs shall be permitted; provided, however, there shall be no xxxx-up for a subcontractor’s General Conditions expenses on the first One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00) of Change Order and Construction Change Directive Work to be performed by such subcontractor. Construction Contractor shall not be entitled to any xxxx-up for Change Order work, nor shall the Construction Management Fee be increased as a result of any Change Order work; provided, however, if at the time final payment is made to Construction Contractor the total Cost of the Work has been increased by approved Change Orders in an amount causing the original GMP as set forth in the GMP Amendment to be exceeded by Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00), Construction Contractor shall be entitled to an increase to the Construction Management Fee in the amount of a fixed percentage of the amount that exceeds the sum of the original GMP plus Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00). If at the time final payment is made to Construction Contractor the total Cost of the Work has been decreased by approved Change Orders in an amount causing the original GMP as set forth in the GMP Amendment to be reduced by more than One Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($100,000.00), not taking into consideration for the purpose of this calculation any deductive Change Orders associated with Owner’s direct purchase program or buy out savings (said reduction amount being referred to herein as the “Reduction”), then the Construction Management Fee shall be reduced in the amount of a fixed percentage of the Reduction amount, such fixed percentage to be established at the time the GMP is initially agreed upon by the parties. Further, there shall be no additional General Conditions expenses payable to Construction Contractor on the first Five Hundred Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($500,000.00) of Change Order or Construction Change Directive Work. 12.5 Owner shall have the right to conduct an audit of Construction Contractor’s books and records, as well as those of its subcontractors and suppliers, to verify the accuracy of Construction Contractor’s claim with respect to Construction Contractor’s costs associated with any Change Order or Construction Change Directive.
