§ 7.3.3 If the Construction Change Directive provides for an adjustment to the Contract Surn, the adjustment shall be
<br />based on one of the following methods:
<br />.1 mutual acceptance of a lump sum properly itemized and supported by sufficient substantiating data to
<br />permit evaluation;
<br />.2 unit prices stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon;
<br />.3 cost to be determined in a manner agreed upon by the parties and a mutually acceptable fixed or
<br />percentage fee; or
<br />.4 as provided in Section 7.3.6.
<br />§ 7.3.4 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in
<br />the Work involved and advise the Architect of the Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,
<br />provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or
<br />Contract Time.
<br />§ 7.3.5 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the agreement of the Contractor
<br />therewith, including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such
<br />agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.
<br />§ 7.3.6 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum,
<br />the :method and the adjustment shall be determined by the Architect on the basis of reasonable expenditures and
<br />savings of those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract
<br />Sum, a reasonable allowance for overhead and profit. In such case, and also under Section 7.3.3.3, the Contractor
<br />shall keep and present, in such form as the Architect may prescribe, :an itemized accounting together with
<br />appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this
<br />Section 7.3.6 shall be limited to the following:
<br />.1 costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits
<br />required by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance;
<br />.2 costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or
<br />consumed;
<br />.3 rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor
<br />or others;
<br />costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to
<br />the Work; and
<br />additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.
<br />§ 7.3.7 The amountof credit to be allowed by the .Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change which results in a
<br />net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by the Architect. When both additions and
<br />credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall
<br />be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
<br />§ 7.3.8 Pending fmaI determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, amounts not in
<br />dispute for such changes in the Work shall be included in Applications for Payment accompanied by a Change
<br />Order indicating the parties' agreement with part or all of such costs. For any portion of such cost that remains in
<br />dispute, the Architect will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those
<br />costs. That determination of cost.shall adjust the Contract Sum on .the same basis as a Change Order, subject to the
<br />right of either party to disagree and assert a claim in accordance with Article 4.
<br />§ 7.3.9 When the Owner and Contractor agree with the determination made by the Architect concerning the
<br />adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such
<br />agreement shall be effective immediately and shall be recorded by preparation and execution of an appropriate
<br />Change Order.
<br />§ 7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
<br />§ 7.4.1 The Architect will have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the
<br />Contract Sum or extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents.
<br />Such changes shall be effected by written order and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor. The Contractor
<br />shall carry out such written orders promptly.
