Contract Change Orders. The Architect shall administer the change order procedures provided in the General Conditions of the Contract.
(a) The Architect is authorized to make “minor” changes in the Work by written order to the Contractor. “Minor” changes in the Work are defined as those which are in the interest of the Owner, do not materially alter the quality or performance of the finished Work, and do not affect the cost or time of performance of the Work. Changes in the Work which are not “minor” may be authorized only by the Owner through a Contract Change Order.
(b) The Architect shall prepare details, supplemental drawings, specifications, or other descriptive documents as necessary to sufficiently delineate, for Contractor pricing and performance, proposed changes in the Work directed or authorized by the Owner.
(c) The Architect shall advise the Owner regarding the method of implementing a change.

(e) Using the form prescribed in the Manual of Procedures the Architect shall recommend, as applicable, the Contractor’s proposals for acceptance by the Owner. Each recommendation of acceptance will be based upon the Architect’s professional opinion that a proposal is complete, in conformance with the Contract Documents, represents fair and reasonable pricing, and justifies change order action in the case of claims for extra work, or does not warrant procurement by competitive bid in the case of added work. Determination of the legality of a change order shall be the responsibility of the Owner and its legal advisor. All change orders require DCM Form C-12: Contract Change Order and DCM Form B-11: Change Order Justification. Cumulative Change Orders 10% or greater of the current contract amount require the Owner’s legal advisor’s signature on DCM Form B-11: Change Order Justification.
(f) The Architect shall prepare Contract Change Orders for acceptance and execution by the Contractor and Owner. In either narrative form or attached and referenced details, supplemental drawings, specifications, or other descriptive documents, Construction Change Orders shall sufficiently describe the change(s) in Work so that the requirements of the Contract Documents are clearly determinable with reasonable ease.
(g) The extensive preparation of details, supplemental drawings, specifications, or other documents to describe a change in the Work may warrant adjustment of the Basic Fee pursuant to Articl...
Contract Change Orders. The CMA shall issue all such change directives to the GC as are required, upon direction from APS.
Contract Change Orders. The City shall respond to Requests for Information and negotiate contract change orders, if necessary. When contractor(s) requests a change order, the Project Design Engineer of record (“Designer”) shall determine whether the requested change order is essential to completion of the Project. In this context, “essential” shall mean the requested change order is for work within the Smart Corridor Project scope and critical to overall Smart Corridor operation. If the Designer determines the change order is essential, the City shall negotiate with the contractor on the cost and approve the change order, as long as the subject change order, and all cumulative change orders, do not exceed the total funds obligated in Exhibit B, Funding Summary. If the Designer determines the change order is non-essential, the City may choose to pay for the cost of the change order from funds that are independent of this Agreement, or the C/CAG Executive Director will decide whether to approve the non-essential change order. In the event City receives change order requests that will exceed the amount specified in Exhibit B, Funding Summary, City will notify C/CAG and the Parties must agree in writing on a proposed course of action within fifteen (15) business days from receipt of the contract change order request. The City shall properly manage contract change orders and maintain proper documentation.
Contract Change Orders. No changes or amendments of the Contract shall be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the City and the Contractor. All changes affecting the Project's construction cost, length of time, or modifications of the terms or conditions of the Contract, must be authorized by means of a written Contract Change Order which is mutually agreed to by the City and Contractor. The Contract Change Order will include extra Work, Work for which quantities have been altered from those shown in the Bid Schedule, as well as decreases or increases in the quantities of installed units which are different from those shown in the Bid Schedule because of final measurements. All changes must be recorded on a Contract Change Order (which form is part of these Contract Documents) and fully executed before they can be included in a partial payment estimate. Changes for Work, quantities, and/or conditions will include any respective time adjustment, if justified. Time adjustments will require an updated Project Schedule with the Change Order.
Contract Change Orders. Anaheim shall process any contract change orders (“CCOs”) deemed necessary by Orange for construction of the Project. If CCOs are needed within the Anaheim Portion, Anaheim shall review and approve such CCOs during construction and City Engineer, or designee, shall coordinate CCO approval. The City Engineer, or designee, (hereinafter “Project liaison”) shall provide concurrence on CCOs within three (3) business days of Orange’s submittal to Anaheim. If Anaheim fails to concur with or propose changes to CCO within such time, such CCO shall be deemed approved.
Contract Change Orders. B. Together these Contract Documents form the contract between Agency and Design-Build Entity for the Work (the “Contract”).

The Contract Documents may only be amended, modified or supplemented by a written instrument signed by both parties or as provided in the Contract Documents.
Contract Change Orders. All change orders or contract modifications must be approved prior to beginning the work. Contract change orders will be based on either an extension of contract unit prices, an approved contractor estimate, or on a time and materials basis. Change orders will be finalized on a separate Change Order document, approved by City. SWT will verify certified payroll and prevailing wage, as requested by the City to obtain documents. At a minimum, SWT will collect certified payroll from the contractor on a monthly basis and include in the final closeout documents for the project.
