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 contracts. The form serves as a directive to contractors to execute specified modifications in accordance with applicable requirements. The document includes fields for contract identification information, including the AAR number, contract number, CIP number, contractor name, and bid number. The form is structured to itemize allowance work to be performed, track associated costs and time impacts, and maintain a running balance of available allowance work throughout the contract term.

The AAR form requires the contractor to waive claims for additional time extensions and monetary compensation resulting from the authorized changes, with all costs associated with the allowance work addressed within the release itself. The document provides line items for describing allowance work, recording cost impact and days impact, and calculating cumulative allowance totals including the current AAR amount and remaining balance available. The form requires signatures from the contractor, witnesses, and the Hillsborough County department director overseeing the contract, along with approvals from Procurement Services and Legal departments. This administrative tool is used in conjunction with the LED Sports Lighting Retrofit & Installation Term Contract, a four-year agreement valued at $8,000,000 for retrofitting metal halide sports lighting systems to LED or installing new LED lighting systems at Hillsborough County athletic facilities.
