All decisions requiring contract modification shall be addressed through CO. In many cases, “fast-tracked” projects (projects which start construction before the design is approved) will be clearly defined in the TO with various fast-tracked phases. In case of a fast-tracked project, construction may start only upon completion and approval of the design phases as defined in the TO.
