3-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 the County to direct contractors to perform modifications to existing contracts while establishing clear terms regarding cost impacts, time extensions, and compensation. The AAR form captures essential contract information including contractor identification, bid number, and contract reference numbers (CPA and C.I.P), along with designated fields for describing the allowance work to be performed and documenting witness signatures from both the contractor and County representatives, including the applicable department director and approval from Procurement Services and Legal departments.

The form establishes a financial framework for contract modifications by tracking the total allowance work amount, cumulative costs from previous AARs, and remaining balance available for additional work. Critically, the standard AAR terms require the contractor to waive any claims for additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond the specified allowance amount, thereby limiting the County's financial exposure and establishing cost certainty for each authorized change. The form includes fields for documenting impact days associated with the modifications and requires approval signatures and dates from Hillsborough County Procurement Services and Legal divisions before implementation, ensuring proper authorization and compliance with County procurement procedures.
