Allowance Authorization Release Form.pdf.pdf

This is an Allowance Authorization Release (AAR) form used by Hillsborough County, Florida to document and authorize changes to construction contracts. The form serves as an official instrument for the contractor to implement modifications to the existing contract terms while waiving any claims for additional time extensions or monetary compensation beyond what is explicitly authorized. The AAR format includes designated fields for contract identification numbers, the specific scope of allowance work to be performed, cost impacts, and the number of days required for completion.

The form tracks the financial aspects of contract modifications through a structured accounting system that documents the cost of allowance work, cumulative totals from previous AARs, available allowance balance, current AAR charges, and remaining balance for future modifications. All AARs require approval from the Procurement Services Department and County Legal Division, with copies distributed to the County Accounting Office and Fiscal & Administrative Support Section. The form is executed by both the contractor and county representatives, including the relevant department director, and must be witnessed and dated to ensure proper authorization and documentation of all contract changes.
