Common use of Authorized Changes Clause in Contracts

Authorized Changes. The City reserves the right at any time to make changes in any one or more of the following: a) specifications; or b) implementation schedule. If the change causes an increase or decrease in the cost of or the time required for performance, an equitable adjustment may be made in the price or delivery schedule, or both. Any claim for adjustment shall be deemed waived unless asserted in writing within thirty (30) days from the receipt of the change. Price increases or extensions of delivery time shall not be binding on the City unless evidenced in writing and approved by the Department Director prior to the institution of the change. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any price increase contemplated herein would cause the total amount payable by the City under this Agreement to exceed the amount authorized by the Phoenix City Council, City Council approval will be required to authorize any such price increase.
