Common use of Field Orders Clause in Contracts

Field Orders. ‌ A Field Order will include a description of the Work to be performed, and the selected basis for adjusting the Contract Sum (increase or decrease) as set forth herein (i.e., unit pricing if applicable, lump sum, or time and materials). A Field Order may or may not include the total amount of the City’s proposed adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, and may also include a not-to-exceed limit for any increases to the Contract Sum. Upon receipt of a Field Order, Contractor shall sign the Field Order to acknowledge receipt of the Field Order and, within a reasonable time, proceed with the Work described in the Field Order. Contractor’s signature acknowledging receipt of the Field Order will not operate to impair Contractor’s right to dispute the Field Order as set forth herein. If Contractor disputes the proposed basis or amount of adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time, it may request to change the disputed portions of the Field Order by submitting a Change Order Request within ten (10) Days following issuance of the disputed Field Order. Failure by Contractor to submit a timely Change Order Request seeking modification of the terms of the Field Order shall be deemed full acceptance of and agreement to all of the terms of the Field Order, and a release and waiver of any right to subsequently dispute any or all of the terms of that Field Order. Field Orders shall be in substantially the same form as Attachment A to the General Conditions.
