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.
