FIELD_ORDER.pdf

This is a Field Order form used by the City of Carmel, Indiana for directing contractors to execute work that interprets existing contract documents or implements minor changes without altering the contract price or timeline. The form serves as a directive to promptly execute specified work and includes sections for a description of the work, attachments, engineer approval, and owner's representative authorization. The Field Order is related to the CFD Stations Remodel Project, which involves the remodeling of three fire stations (CFD Station 345, CFD Station 342, and CFD Station 346) for the City of Carmel, located in Hamilton County, Indiana. Sealed bids for this project were accepted through the City's e-Procurement Portal at https://procurement.opengov.com/portal/carmelin until 10:00 am on Wednesday, September 16, 2026.

The Field Order document does not contain specific pricing information, set-asides, funding sources, or other financial terms. Instead, it functions as an administrative tool for managing contract modifications and work directives during project execution. Should contractors determine that proposed work requires changes to the contract price or timeline, they are required to submit itemized proposals to the engineer immediately before proceeding. Upon approval of such proposals, the Field Order would be superseded by a formal Change Order, establishing the appropriate mechanism for contract modifications beyond the scope of minor interpretive adjustments.
