Before effectuating Clause Samples

Before effectuating a Change in the Work, the Owner may request that the Design-Builder, through a Change Order proposal, propose the amount of change in the GMP and/or Contract Sum, if any, and the extent of change in the Contract Time, if any, arising from the proposed Change in the Work. The Design-Builder shall submit its responsive proposal as soon as possible, and within seven days of the Owner’s request, and shall in good faith specify the components and amounts by which the GMP, Contract Sum and/or Contract Time would change. Labor, materials and equipment shall be limited to and itemized in the manner described in Section GC-7.6 for the Design-Builder and major Subcontractors. If the Design-Builder fails to respond within this time, the Owner may withhold some or all of a progress payment otherwise due until the tardy proposal is received.
