Sample_Change_Order.pdf

This is a sample change order form from the Pinellas County Purchasing Department in Clearwater, Florida, applicable to the Light Electrical Commercial Repairs and Equipment contract. The document provides the standardized template and procedures for executing change orders to existing county contracts. The form accommodates both additions and deletions to the original agreement value, with designated fields for fiscal number, change order number, account number, and the resulting new total agreement amount. The change order requires execution by the contractor and must be approved by the county investigator, Director of Purchasing, Office of County Attorney, and the Board of County Commissioners, with final acceptance and authorization by company representatives and a witness.

The sample change order establishes important terms regarding contractor obligations and compensation limitations. Upon execution of a change order, the contractor waives all claims or requests for additional time or compensation for any activities prior to execution that relate to items included in the change order. The document explicitly states that payment authorized by the change order represents full and complete compensation for all labor, materials, incidental expenses, overhead, profit, impact costs, and time associated with the work. Claim procedures for any disputes are outlined in the primary contract documents, establishing a clear framework for managing scope modifications and cost adjustments within Pinellas County's procurement process.
