The document outlines a contractual change process between an Employer and Contractor. It involves the following key steps: 1) If a change is required, the Employer's Representative (ER) can issue a Change Notice or Design Order to advise the Contractor of the change. 2) The Contractor must then respond in writing to the ER within 14 days, either proposing changes or noting compliance. 3) The ER will review and can accept the proposal, reject it, or provide clarification. All changes must be authorized in writing by the ER. 4) If rejected, the Contractor can lodge a formal claim within 14 days as outlined in the contract.
