Workplace Change Process
Change Process Citizens may require changes altering, adding to, or deducting from the Services (each, a “Change”), provided that: (a) such Change is within the general scope of this Agreement; and, (b) Citizens will make an equitable adjustment in Vendor’s compensation or delivery date if a Change materially affects the cost or time of performance of the Services.

The Parties will cooperate in good faith to determine the scope and nature of a Change, the availability of Vendor Staff, the expertise and resources to provide such Change, and the time period in which such Change will be implemented.
