ARTICLE 7 - CHANGES IN THE WORK
7.1 Changes
7.1.1 Changes in the Work may be accomplished after execution of the Contract, and without
invalidating the Contract, by Change Order, Construction Change Directive or order for a minor
change in the Work, subject to the limitations stated in this Article 7 and elsewhere in the Contract
Documents.
7.1.2 A Change Order shall be based upon agreement among the Board by Resolution, the
Contractor and the Engineer; a Construction Change Directive requires agreement by the Board by
Resolution and the Engineer and may or may not be agreed to by the Contractor; an order for a
minor change in the Work may be issued by the Engineer alone.
7.1.3 Except as permitted in Paragraph 7.3, a change in the Contract Sum or the Contract Time
shall be accomplished only by Change Order. Except as provided in Subparagraph 7.1.4, neither
1) any course of conduct or dealings between the parties, nor 2) any order, statement or conduct of
the Board, Engineer, or their employees or agents, nor 3) any express or implied acceptance of
alterations or additions to the Work, nor 4) any claim that the Board has been unjustly enriched by
any alteration or addition to the Work, whether or not there is, in fact, any unjust enrichment to the
Work, shall be treated as a Change Order nor shall it be the basis of any claim for an increase in any
amounts due under the Contract Documents or a change in any time period provided for in the
Contract Documents nor shall it be the basis for an equitable adjustment.
7.1.4 Any oral or written order (including any direction, instruction, interpretation or
determination) by the Board or Engineer or their agent that causes a change shall be treated as a
Change Order only where the Contractor gives the Board written notice stating (1) the date of the
order, (2) the circumstances surrounding the order, (3) the source of the order, and (4) that the
Contractor regards the order as a Change Order.
7.1.5 Should any change to the Contract Time or Contract Sum be included or necessitated by the
Change Order created pursuant to Subparagraph 7.1.4, within fourteen (14) calendar days of the
giving the notice required under Subparagraph 7.1.4, the Contractor shall provide the Board with
a "Proposal for adjustment" (hereinafter referred to as the "Proposal") based upon an equitable
adjustment to the Contract Sum or Contract Time. Guided by the Proposal, the Board shall make
an equitable adjustment to the Contract Time or Contract Sum by way of a Change Order made
pursuant to Subparagraph 7.2.1 which, if not signed by the Contractor, shall be treated as a
Construction Change Directive.
