Change Orders contract clause examples

Change Orders. If, after preparation, review and approval of the Leasehold Plans, Tenant requests any change or addition to the work and materials to be provided pursuant to the Leasehold Plans that have a material impact on the Building systems, or structural integrity of the Building, Tenant shall obtain Landlord’s consent, which may be withheld in Landlord’s reasonable discretion. If such change order requested by Tenant also requires Landlord to make changes in the Building systems or the Building’s structural components, then all additional costs and expenses incurred by Landlord attributable such changes shall also be included in the Leasehold Cost for purposes of the foregoing calculation.

Change Orders. The Specifications define the entire scope of Landlord's obligation to construct or provide the Landlord Improvements. Tenant shall not be entitled to specify or designate any finishes, grades of materials, or other specifications or details of the construction of the Landlord Improvements which are not specifically provided for in or contemplated by the Specifications unless requested to do so by Landlord. Subject to this paragraph, however, Landlord shall make additions or changes to the Specifications requested by Tenant. If Tenant shall desire any such changes, Tenant shall so advise Landlord in writing (a “Change Order Request”) as promptly as possible so as not to delay the orderly development of the Final Plans. All reasonable costs incurred by Landlord in having any Change Order Request reviewed and evaluated shall be reimbursed by Tenant upon demand. Such costs shall include, but not be limited to, the reasonable costs of architects, engineers, and consultants in reviewing and designing any such changes and the cost of contractors in providing cost estimates and constructability, functionality and product availability analyses. Tenant acknowledges and agrees that # Landlord shall not be obligated to accept any Change Order Request if in the reasonable judgment of Landlord the requested change would have an adverse effect on the quality, useful life, value, functionality or costs of operating or maintaining the Landlord Improvements; # Tenant shall bear all costs and expenses associated with incorporating into the Final Plans and the Landlord Improvements any Change Order Request accepted by Landlord, including without limitation an administrative fee to Landlord equal to 10 percent of the increased cost resulting from such change (and Tenant shall pay such costs to Landlord, in advance as provided below); # Landlord shall not be obligated to accept the least expensive method of incorporating the requested change if in the reasonable judgment of Landlord, such method does not incorporate sound construction practices; # if the Change Order Request affects the roof, slab, structural components or systems or equipment to be installed within the Landlord Improvements or the future serviceability of the Landlord Improvements, and the Landlord determines that in order to lease the building to any subsequent tenant, additional work will have to be done to remove the effect of such change, the anticipated costs of restoring the Landlord Improvements to the condition it would have been in but for such change will also be paid in advance by the Tenant as a condition to Tenant's change, as provided below; and # to the extent Tenant specifies any items which have not been recommended by Landlord, Tenant assumes full responsibility for their performance. Upon agreement between Landlord and Tenant on the change that will be incorporated into the Final Plans and Landlord Improvements as a result of a Change Order Request, and the cost of such change, the Landlord and Tenant shall execute a change order (a “Change Order”) setting forth the parties' agreement as to such terms. Payment of the Change Order cost shall be due from Tenant within 30 days of the mutual execution of the Change Order.

Change Orders. The Contract Price shall be altered by the agreed cost or savings of Change Orders applicable to the Vessel, if any, made in accordance with Article 10.

Effect of Change Orders. The cost of any such changes and the impact of such changes are to be agreed upon in advance by Owner and Builder, and added to, or deducted from the Contract Price. If any such change will affect the Delivery Date of the Vessel, the Delivery Date shall be adjusted accordingly.

Tenant may, from time to time, after Tenant’s approval of the Base Building Construction Documents, request that changes be made to the Base Building Improvements which have not been Substantially Completed (each, a “Tenant Change Order”). Any Tenant Change Order requested by Tenant shall be in writing and shall identify the proposed change to the Base Building Construction Documents with reasonable specificity. Tenant hereby acknowledges and agrees that even a request for a Tenant Change Order may cause Landlord to incur out-of-pocket costs and expenses payable to third parties in order to evaluate the proposed Tenant Change Order (the “Evaluation Costs”) and may cause a delay in the performance of the Base Building Improvements and/or delay the Target Completion Date (an “Evaluation Delay”). Landlord shall use commercially reasonable efforts to incorporate into the Base Building Improvements any Tenant Change Order; however, if, in Landlord’s reasonable judgment, Tenant’s desired changes to the Base Building Improvements # will adversely impact the appearance, marketability, function or safety of the Building, # could reasonably be expected to cause a delay in the Target Completion Date, or # will not comply with all [[Organization A:Organization]] Requirements and Permitted Exceptions (subject, however, to Tenant’s right, at its sole cost and expense, to appeal, contest or seek appropriate waivers from such [[Organization A:Organization]] Requirements), Landlord reserves the right to disapprove any such Tenant Change Order.

Change Orders. All material changes to the Approved Plans requested by Tenant must be approved by Landlord in advance of the implementation of such changes as part of the Tenant Improvements, which approval shall not be unreasonably conditioned or withheld and shall be delivered as soon as reasonably possible.

Change Orders. In the event Tenant desires to make any material changes to the Approved Working Drawings, Tenant shall deliver written notice (the "Drawing Change Notice") of the same to Landlord, setting forth in detail the proposed changes (the "Tenant Change") Tenant desires to make to the Approved Working Drawings. Within three (3) business days following receipt of a Drawing Change Notice, Landlord shall deliver written notice to Tenant of either # Landlord's approval of the proposed Tenant Change, or # its disapproval of the proposed Tenant Change (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, in accordance with Landlord's rights under [Section 3.4] of this Work Letter) specifying in reasonably sufficient detail the reasons for Landlord's disapproval. If Landlord fails to notify Tenant of Landlord's approval or disapproval of any such Tenant Change within such three (3) business day period, Tenant shall have the right to provide Landlord with a second written request for approval (a "Tenant Change Second Request") that specifically identifies the Tenant Change and contains the following statement in bold and capital letters: "THIS IS A SECOND REQUEST FOR APPROVAL PURSUANT TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 3.6 OF THE WORK LETTER ATTACHED TO THE LEASE. IF LANDLORD FAILS TO RESPOND WITHIN FIVE # BUSINESS DAYS AFTER RECEIPT OF THIS NOTICE, THEN LANDLORD SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE APPROVED THE TENANT CHANGE." If Landlord fails to respond to such Tenant Change Second Request within five (5) business days after receipt by Landlord, the Tenant change in question shall be deemed approved by Landlord. Tenant shall pay all additional costs and fees, if any, attributable to such Tenant Change, subject to Section 4.2.1 below.

Change Orders. If Tenant requests any change or addition to the work or materials to be provided by Landlord pursuant to the Approved Expansion Space Plan or the Final Expansion Space Construction Drawings, then Landlord shall not be obligated to perform such change or addition. All additional expenses attributable to any change order requested by Tenant and approved by Landlord shall be payable by Tenant prior to the performance of the work contemplated by such change order. If Landlord submits an estimate of the additional expenses attributable to a change order, then Tenant shall pay such estimated additional expenses prior to the performance of the work contemplated by such change order. If the actual additional expenses attributable to such change order exceed such estimated additional expenses, then Tenant shall pay the amount of such excess no later than the earlier of the Lease Commencement Date or ten (10) days after Tenant’s receipt of a bill therefor. If such estimated additional expenses exceed the actual additional expenses attributable to such change order, then the amount of such excess shall be credited against the first installment(s) of rent.

Example; Change Orders. For example, if Tenant requests any change, addition or alteration in or to the Space Plan, Approved Working Drawings or Construction Documents (each, a “Tenant Change Order”), the requested change in the Tenant Change Order shall be considered Non-Conforming Tenant Improvements. If Landlord believes such Tenant Change Order # is reasonable, # will not materially detract from the value of the Project and # will not impact the Building's structure, systems or future marketability, Landlord shall cause the Architect to prepare additional plans implementing such Tenant Change Order. Tenant shall pay the Architect’s cost of preparing such additional plans within ten days after receipt of Landlord’s invoice therefor. As soon as practicable after the completion of such additional plans, Landlord shall notify Tenant of the estimated cost of the applicable Tenant Change Order (the “Change Cost”). Within three business days after receipt of the Change Cost, Tenant shall notify Landlord in writing whether Tenant approves the Change Cost. If Tenant fails to approve the Change Cost within such three-business day period, Landlord shall not perform the requested work, and construction of the Tenant Improvements shall proceed as provided in accordance with the Construction Documents. If Tenant approves the Change Cost, Landlord shall proceed with the Tenant Change Order, at Tenant’s expense. Tenant pay for the Change Cost by remitting a payment of fifty percent (50)% of the Change Cost to Landlord before Landlord proceeds with the Tenant Change Order. Tenant shall pay twenty five percent (25%) of the Change Cost when the work is half completed, and the remaining twenty five percent (25%) upon completion of the change.

Payment for Change Orders. Except as otherwise agreed or provided in this Section, payment for Change Orders shall be done in accordance with Section 4.14. For Change Orders done on a time and materials basis pursuant to Section 10.8, the accrued charges shall be paid concurrently with the next Interim Installment Payment, subject to reasonable documentation of the time and materials expended by Builder.
