2-Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form used by Hillsborough County, Florida to document authorized changes to construction contracts. The form provides a standardized template for contractors to request modifications to existing contracts while waiving claims for additional time extensions or monetary compensation related to the authorized changes. The document includes fields for contract identification information, a detailed description of allowance work to be performed, cost impact assessment, number of days required for completion, and cumulative tracking of all allowance work amounts against the total available allowance balance.

The AAR process requires approval from the Hillsborough County Facilities Management and Real Estate Services Department, with sign-off required from the contractor, county representatives, legal counsel, and procurement services. The form maintains a running record of allowance work costs, tracking the total allowance work included in the original contract, cumulative costs from previous AARs, available balance, current AAR costs, and remaining balance. This administrative mechanism enables the county to manage scope changes and cost modifications to its miscellaneous facilities construction projects under the R3M Term Contract while maintaining fiscal control and requiring formal authorization and documentation for all changes.
