Requests for Change Orders Clause Samples
The "Requests for Change Orders" clause defines the process by which one party can formally propose modifications to the original terms, scope, or deliverables of a contract. Typically, this clause outlines the steps required to submit a change request, such as providing written notice, detailing the nature and justification for the change, and specifying any impacts on cost or schedule. For example, if a contractor encounters unforeseen site conditions, they would use this process to request additional time or compensation. The core function of this clause is to provide a structured and documented method for managing changes, thereby reducing disputes and ensuring that all parties agree to and understand any alterations to the contract.
