CHANGES <br />6.1 OWNER’S RIGHT TO DIRECT CHANGES TO THE WORK <br />The Owner reserves the right to change the Work at any time. Such changes shall not invalidate <br />the Contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the Work as changed. <br />Among others, these changes and alterations may include: <br />1. Deleting or omit any part of the Work, Equipment or material to be provided under this <br />Contract, and <br />2. Increasing or decreasing quantities, <br />3. Altering Specifications, designs, or both, <br />4. Altering the way the Work is to be done, <br />5. Adding new Work or Extra Work, <br />6. Altering facilities, Equipment, materials, services, or sites, provided by the Owner, and <br />7. Ordering the Contractor to accelerate or Delay Work. <br />If the Contractor and Owner do not agree upon scope of Work changed or adjustment to the <br />Contract Sum and Contract Time, the Owner may, at its sole option, unilaterally direct the <br />Contractor to implement any change by notice. The Owner shall not pay or be responsible or <br />liable for any change implemented by the Contractor without explicit notice from the Owner to <br />proceed. <br />6.2 EXTRA WORK <br />At its sole option, the Owner may (1) perform Extra Work itself, (2) employ others to do it, (3) <br />direct the Contractor to perform the Extra Work at existing unit bid price, (4) direct the <br />Contractor to perform the Extra Work at a mutually agreed upon price, or (5) direct the <br />Contractor to perform the Extra Work on a Force Account basis. <br />6.3 CHANGE ORDERS <br />Changes to the Work may result in an increase or decrease in Contract Sum, as provided in 9.2. <br />PAYMENT FOR CHANGES. Requests for an increase in Contract Time must be made as <br />provided in 5.2.2.2 Extensions of Contract Time, as applicable. Substantial changes in <br />Contract Time, Contract Sum or Work will often be negotiated and agreed between the <br />Contractor and Owner before the Owner directs the Contractor to proceed with the change. <br />If the Contractor and Owner agree on the scope of Work and any changes to Contract Sum and <br />Contract Time, the Contractor and Owner shall execute an agreed Change Order. However, if <br />the Contractor and Owner do not agree, the Owner may, in its sole discretion, issue a unilateral <br />Change Order changing the scope of Work and making any adjustments to the Contract Sum <br />pursuant to 9.2. PAYMENT FOR CHANGES and Contract Time in such amount and for such <br />time as the Owner thinks appropriate. Contractor agrees to use the agreed and unilateral <br />Change Order forms included in the Contract Documents or otherwise provided by Owner. The <br />Contractor accepts all requirements, terms and conditions of a Change Order by: signing it; <br />writing a separate acceptance; or by failing to notify the Owner immediately in writing that <br />Contractor disagrees with the Change Order and does not intend to be bound by its terms. <br />The Contractor waives all Contract Claims with respect to (and is estopped from denying its <br />agreement with) any unilateral Change Order for which the Contractor does not immediately <br />give Notice to the Owner as provided in ARTICLE 10. NOTICE TO OWNER and submit a <br />Contract Claim as provided in ARTICLE 12. CONTRACT CLAIMS. A unilateral Change Order <br />that is not timely protested as provided in this section shall be full payment and final settlement
