FIELD_ORDER.pdf

This is a Field Order template document issued by the City of Carmel for use on construction projects. The form is designed to direct contractors to execute work that interprets existing contract documents or implements minor changes without modifying the contract price or timeline. The Field Order serves as an interim directive mechanism; if contractors believe that proposed changes warrant adjustments to contract price or schedule, they must submit itemized proposals to the Engineer immediately prior to commencing work. Upon approval, such proposals will be superseded by formal Change Orders. The template includes designated spaces for field order number, date, project name, project number, work description, attachments, engineer approval, owner's representative signature, and date of execution. No specific project details, quantities, or timelines are populated in this template version.

The Field Order template contains no pricing information, set-aside designations, incumbent contractor references, or funding source specifications, as it functions as a blank standardized form for general application across City of Carmel construction contracts. This document is relevant to the 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project, which requires installation of approximately 800 linear feet of 12-inch water main with a bid deadline of April 15, 2026, and project completion by June 30, 2026, with liquidated damages assessed at $1,000 per day for delays. The City of Carmel will fund the project through municipal resources, though no specific budget amount is disclosed in procurement documents.
