Field Order - 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension

This is a Field Order template document issued by the City of Carmel, Indiana, Board of Public Works and Safety for the 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project. The form is designed to authorize the contractor to execute minor changes to the work or interpret contract documents without modifying the contract price or contract time. The document includes designated spaces for the field order number, project name, project number, description of work, attachments, engineer approval, and owner's representative signature with date. If the contractor determines that proposed work requires a change in contract price or contract time, the contractor must submit an itemized proposal to the engineer immediately before proceeding, with the field order to be superseded by a formal Change Order if the proposal is approved.

The field order serves as an administrative tool within the broader 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project, which involves the installation of approximately 800 linear feet of 12-inch water main using either open cut or horizontal directional drilling methods. The project requires a sealed bid submission deadline of 9:00 a.m. on Wednesday, April 15, 2026, with a mandatory pre-bid conference on Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. at City Hall. Project start is scheduled for May 2026 with substantial completion required by June 30, 2026. The successful contractor must provide performance and payment bonds at 100 percent, maintain general liability insurance with minimum limits of $6,000,000 general aggregate and $5,000,000 per occurrence, and submit a ten percent maintenance bond. Liquidated damages are assessed at $1,000 per day for delays beyond completion dates, and all contractors must comply with federal E-Verify employment verification requirements.
