CONTRACT/PROJECT CHANGE ORDER PROCESS Clause Samples

CONTRACT/PROJECT CHANGE ORDER PROCESS. For projects involving Technology Implementation services, where frequent and/or multiple minor changes to the project schedule or deliverables are anticipated, the following process may be utilized to effectuate such minor changes without undue project delays (“Change Orders”). Changes to a Contract during its term may incur additional costs and possible delays relative to the project schedule or may result in less cost to the State (for example, the State decides it no longer needs a deliverable in whole or part) or less effort on the part of a selected vendor. A Change Order shall define the effort involved in implementing the change, the total cost or associated savings to the State, of implementing the change, and the effect, if any, of implementing the change on the project schedule. Any change that alters the essential terms of the original contract, including any change that expands or decreases the statement of work, the contract duration, the payment terms and/or the contract maximum amount, shall require a Contract Amendment in accordance with State contracting policies and procedures. Under no circumstances may a Change Order be used where a Contract Amendment is otherwise required pursuant to the Contract Amendments, Approval and Execution process set forth in State Administrative Bulletin 3.5. Change Orders will be developed jointly, and every effort will be made to adhere to the approved Project Plan. The Project Manager for the State and the Project Manager for a Contractor will decide whether a Change Order is necessary. If a Change Order is necessary, the Project Manager for requesting party will prepare a Change Order Request detailing the impacts on scope, schedule, deliverables, resources, and cost. The Change Order Request must be submitted to the non- requesting party for review. The non-requesting party will make its best efforts to either approve or deny the Change Order in writing within (10) business days. In no event shall any delay in the approval or denial of a Change Request constitute a deemed approval by the State. The State will not pay for the effort involved in developing a Change Order. The Contractor shall bear the cost of estimating the cost or savings, time, and Contractor resources required to implement all Change Order Requests forthcoming from the State during the course of the Project. All Change Orders that are mutually agreed upon must: a. be in writing and describe, with specific reference to the applicable se...

  • 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.
