2-Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form used by Hillsborough County, Florida to document approved changes to contracts. The form serves as the official authorization mechanism for contractors to implement modifications to existing contract work while establishing clear parameters for cost impacts and schedule adjustments. The document requires specification of the allowance work to be performed, associated costs, and any impact on project timeline, with all parties acknowledging the changes through formal signatures and witness attestation.

The AAR form includes financial tracking provisions that account for the total allowance amount included in the original contract, cumulative costs from all previous AARs, the balance of available allowance work, costs associated with the current AAR, and the remaining allowance balance. By executing the form, the contractor waives claims for additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond the specified allowance amounts and assumes all costs associated with the authorized changes. The document requires approval from Hillsborough County's Procurement Services and Legal departments, with copies distributed to the County Accounting Office and Finance and Administrative Support Section, ensuring proper documentation and oversight of contract modifications throughout the project lifecycle.
