Request for Additional Compensation Clause Samples
A Request for Additional Compensation clause allows a party, typically a contractor or service provider, to formally seek extra payment beyond the original contract amount due to unforeseen circumstances or changes in project scope. This clause outlines the process for submitting such requests, including required documentation and timelines, and may specify the types of events that justify additional compensation, such as unexpected site conditions or client-initiated changes. Its core function is to provide a clear mechanism for addressing and resolving claims for extra costs, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring fair compensation for work performed outside the initial agreement.
Request for Additional Compensation. If for any reason the Contractor believes that additional compensation is due for work not clearly provided for in the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall provide written notice to the Owner at least three (3) days before beginning the work which is not clearly provided for in the Contract Documents. If such notification is not given, then the Contractor hereby agrees to waive any claim for such additional compensation. Such notice by the Contractor shall not in any way be construed as proving or substantiating the validity of the request for additional compensation. When the work, which is the basis for the Contractor’s request for additional compensation, has been completed, the Contractor shall, within ten (10) calendar days, submit evidence of costs incurred by the Contractor and a narrative which provides the basis for the request for additional compensation.
