Common use of Contract Change Orders Clause in Contracts

Contract Change Orders. No changes or amendments of the Contract shall be effective unless documented in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the City and the Contractor. All changes affecting the Project's construction cost, length of time, or modifications of the terms or conditions of the Contract, must be authorized by means of a written Contract Change Order which is mutually agreed to by the City and Contractor. The Contract Change Order will include extra Work, Work for which quantities have been altered from those shown in the Bid Schedule, as well as decreases or increases in the quantities of installed units which are different from those shown in the Bid Schedule because of final measurements. All changes must be recorded on a Contract Change Order (which form is part of these Contract Documents) and fully executed before they can be included in a partial payment estimate. Changes for Work, quantities, and/or conditions will include any respective time adjustment, if justified. Time adjustments will require an updated Project Schedule with the Change Order.
