3-Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form used by Hillsborough County, Florida to authorize changes to construction contracts. The form provides a structured template for documenting modifications to existing contracts, including the contractor name, bid number, contract number, and CIP number. The document establishes a process for tracking allowance work, with designated fields for cost descriptions, impact assessments in days, and monetary amounts associated with the authorized changes. The form requires contractor acknowledgment through signature and seal, along with witness signatures, and mandates approval from the Hillsborough County Director of the relevant department, the Procurement Services Department, and the County's Legal Department before implementation.

The form explicitly states that the contractor waives any claims to additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond what is specified in the AAR, thereby establishing clear boundaries for cost and schedule implications of contract modifications. The document includes tracking fields for the allowance work included in the original contract, total previous AARs, balance of allowance work available, the current AAR amount, and remaining allowance balance, creating an audit trail for cumulative contract modifications. Distribution of the executed form includes copies to Christine Beck in the CAO and the Fiscal and Administrative Support Section of the Procurement Services Department, ensuring financial and administrative oversight of all authorized contract changes throughout the project duration.
