Common use of Directive Letters Clause in Contracts

Directive Letters. Owner may at any time issue a Directive Letter to Contractor in the event of any desired change in the Work or of any dispute between the Parties regarding whether the Work in question is within the original scope of the Work. The Directive Letter will state that it is issued under this Article 14.2, will describe the Work in question and will state the basis for determining compensation. Contractor shall proceed immediately with the Work as directed in the Directive Letter, pending the execution of a formal Change Order (or, if the letter states that the Work is within the original scope of the Work, Contractor shall proceed with the Work as directed but shall have the right pursuant to Article 14.4 to request that Owner issue a Change Order with respect thereto if Contractor believes the work described in the Directive Letter is not included in the Work). Owner’s issuance of a Directive Letter shall not be considered evidence that an Owner-Directed Change occurred. The determination whether an Owner-Directed Change in fact occurred shall be based on an analysis of the original Contract requirements and any effect of the Directive Letter on those requirements.
