FIELD_ORDER.pdf

This is a Field Order form issued by the City of Carmel, Indiana, providing a template for documenting minor work directives and contract interpretations during project execution. The field order format allows the City's Engineer to direct contractors to execute work changes that do not alter contract price or time without requiring formal change order processing. The form includes designated sections for specifying the work description, identifying relevant attachments, and obtaining approval signatures from the Engineer and Owner's Representative. If a contractor determines that the directed work requires modifications to contract price or timeline, the contractor must submit an itemized proposal to the Engineer before commencing work, with the potential that an approved proposal would result in a superseding Change Order rather than proceeding under the field order.

This form is a standard administrative tool used in conjunction with the Raised Crosswalk Improvements project at Gray Road and Hazel Dell Roundabouts, scheduled for sealed bid submission by February 4, 2026, with project work across six designated intersections in Carmel, Hamilton County, Indiana. The field order process establishes a mechanism for managing minor construction directives and design clarifications during the project's four-phase execution schedule, which runs through September 10, 2026, without requiring the formal change order procedures that would be necessary for modifications involving contract price or schedule adjustments.
