Common use of Contract Change Orders Clause in Contracts

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.
