D. If the Contracting Officer determines that an equitable adjustment in time or dollars is to be made, the contract shall be modified in writing using the prescribed Standard Form provided by the Contracting Officer.

E. Contract clauses entitled “Changes” and “Differing Site Conditions” are supplemented as follows:

1. When requested by the Contracting Officer, the Contractor shall submit proposals for changes in work to the Contracting Officer. These requests shall be in the form of sequentially numbered “Modification Proposal Requests” (MPR’s). Proposals, to be submitted within 30 calendar days after the Contractor’s receipt of requests from the Contracting Officer, shall be in legible form, original and two copies, with an itemized breakdown that will include material, quantities, unit prices, labor costs (separated into trades), construction equipment, etc. (Labor costs are to be identified with specific material placed or operation performed). The Contractor must obtain and furnish with a proposal an itemized breakdown as described above, signed by each subcontractor participating in the change regardless of tier. When the certified cost or pricing data is required under FAR Subpart 15.804, the cost of pricing data shall be submitted on Standard Form 1411 (SF 1411), Contract Pricing Proposal Cover Sheet, in accordance with FAR 15.804-6. Work shall not proceed without the appropriate change document.

2. When the necessity to proceed with a change does not allow sufficient time to negotiate a modification or because of failure to reach an agreement, the Contracting Officer may issue a change order. The Change Order should instruct the Contractor to proceed on the basis of a tentative price based on the best estimate available at the time, with the firm price to be determined later. This directive shall be issued in the form of a sequentially numbered “Unilateral Modification to the Contract” (ULT).

5. The Contractor shall submit a proposal for work that they believe is beyond the contractual requirements. This proposal shall be submitted in the form of a sequentially numbered “Contractor Proposed Change” (CPC). The CPC shall be submitted within 30 calendar days of having identified this work. No extra contractual work shall proceed without the appropriate change document.

F. When the Contractor receives notification of a change made pursuant to the Contract Clause entitled "Changes" or after affirmation of constructive change thereunder, the Contractor should submit a claim for equitable adjustment under this clause. This claim shall include all types of adjustments in the total amounts to which that clause entitles the Contractor, including but not limited to adjustments arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by such change. Except as the parties may otherwise expressly agree, the Contractor shall be deemed to have waived (I) any adjustments to which it otherwise might be entitled under the aforesaid clause where such claim fails to request such adjustment, and (ii) any increase in the amount of equitable adjustments additional to those requested in its claim. Further, the Contractor agrees that, if required by the Contracting Officer, it will execute a release, in form and substance satisfactory to the Contracting Officer, as part of the supplemental agreement setting forth the aforesaid adjustment, and that such release shall discharge the Government, its officers, agents, and employees, from any further claims, including but not limited, to further claims arising out of delays or disruptions or both caused by the aforesaid change.
