2-Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form used by Hillsborough County, Florida to authorize changes to existing contracts. The form provides a structured template for documenting modifications to contract work, including cost impacts, schedule adjustments measured in days, and descriptions of allowance work to be performed. The document requires contractor acknowledgment that they waive any claims for additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond those specified in the AAR, with all associated costs absorbed by the contractor.

The form tracks financial impacts through multiple line items, including the allowance work cost for the current authorization, cumulative costs from all previous AARs, remaining available allowance balance, and the final remaining balance after the current change authorization. The AAR requires approval signatures from both the contractor and Hillsborough County officials, including the relevant department director, County Attorney's Office (CAO), and Procurement Services, along with notification to County Accounting and Fiscal & Administrative Support Section. This authorization mechanism applies to the Sidewalk Replacement and Repair – North (WORCS 2) project, a $10,000,000 sidewalk replacement and repair initiative with a 9% Small Business Enterprise (SBE) subcontractor participation goal.
