FIELD_ORDER.pdf

This is a Field Order form from the City of Carmel, Indiana, used to document minor changes or interpretations to contract documents during project execution. The Field Order serves as a directive to execute work that either interprets existing contract documents or orders minor changes without affecting the Contract Price or Contract Time. The form is designed to be completed by the Engineer and approved by the Owner's Representative, with spaces for the Field Order number, date, project name, project number, and a detailed description of the work or changes being ordered. The document includes a provision requiring contractors to submit itemized proposals to the Engineer immediately if they believe the Field Order requires changes to Contract Price or Contract Time; if approved, the Field Order will be superseded by a formal Change Order.

The Field Order template itself contains no specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information, as it is a blank form intended for use during the execution phase of projects such as the related 6" Water Main project from Gray Road to Hazel Dell in Carmel, Indiana. This particular project, for which bids were due October 7, 2026, involves approximately 2,600 feet of directional drilling for a 6-inch water main along 96th Street connecting Gray Road to the Wastewater Treatment Plant at Hazel Dell. The Field Order would be issued during construction to manage any necessary minor adjustments or clarifications that arise during project implementation.
