Change Order Process 12.2.1 Contractor shall provide Notice to Owner as soon as practicable, but no later than five (5) Business Days, after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that will impact the Work. Failure to provide such Notice within ten (10) Business Days after the time when Contractor knows of the impact of any Force Majeure Event shall be deemed to be a waiver of the Contractor’s right to receive a Change Order with respect thereto. Such Notice shall, to the extent practicable, specify the estimated impact on the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, the impact upon the various portions of the Work occasioned by reason of such Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, and shall substantiate the foregoing to the satisfaction of Owner. In the event that Contractor does not know or is unable to specify with reasonable certainty the impact upon the Work at the time such Notice is to be delivered, Contractor shall instead provide Owner with a notice of a potential or anticipated impact of any Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order that could impact the Work, and shall thereafter provide Owner (and, if requested by Owner, the Independent Engineer) with periodic supplemental Notices during the period that the Force Majeure Event, Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, continues, detailing any developments, progress or other relevant information of which Contractor is aware. To the extent Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) agrees with the Contractor’s determination of a Force Majeure Event or Owner Caused Delay or any other basis for a Change Order, as applicable, and the effects thereof, Owner shall notify Contractor of Owner’s acceptance. In the event Owner (in consultation with the Independent Engineer with respect to a Material Change) does not accept the Contractor’s findings, Owner or Contractor shall be permitted to dispute such Change Order in accordance with Article 36, and Contractor shall be paid for any Work performed in respect of such disputed Change Order as provided in Section 12.2.5. 12.2.2 As soon as practicable, and in any event within fifteen (15) Days (or such other period as is mutually agreed by Owner and Contractor) after receipt from Owner of a request for a change or Notice of Owner’s acceptance under Section 12.2.1, Contractor shall submit to Owner a proposal for implementing the change indicating the estimated change to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable. If Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) agrees that the Contractor’s proposal should be implemented, Owner (having consulted with the Independent Engineer in the case of a Material Change) shall issue a Change Order incorporating such proposal. Upon receiving such Change Order, Contractor shall diligently perform the change in accordance with the terms thereof. 12.2.3 Contractor’s proposal required pursuant to Section 12.2.2 shall consist of: (a) a detailed material take-off with supporting calculations in accordance with the pricing structure herein, for pricing the change, (b) revisions, if any, to the Drawings and Specifications, (c) a schedule for the work associated with the proposed change, (d) the effect, if any, to the Target Price and/or the Project Schedule, as applicable, (e) the effect, if any, of the change on the Work, including the Performance Tests and/or Demonstration Tests (or protocol therefor), (f) changes, if any, to any right, liability or obligation of a Party or any other provision hereof and (g) changes, if applicable, to any Applicable Deadline.
