WORK_DIRECTIVE_CHANGE.pdf

This is a Work Directive Change form template issued by the City of Carmel, Indiana, Board of Public Works and Safety, designed to authorize modifications to ongoing construction contracts. The form provides a structured format for documenting changes to project scope, including sections for project identification, specification and drawing references, detailed descriptions of work modifications, and justification for the directive change. The form requires authorization from the Owner's Representative and approval from the Board of Public Works and Safety, which consists of Laura Campbell (Presiding Officer), James Barlow, Alan Potasnik, and Brad Pease (City Engineer). The directive change process includes provisions for adjusting the project completion date by adding, deducting, or leaving unchanged a specified number of days, with a corresponding Contract Change Order to be issued to the contractor covering the financial impact of the modifications. The form must be attested by Jacob Quinn, City Clerk, and dated appropriately for official documentation.

This Work Directive Change template is applicable to the City of Carmel's 106th and Westfield Water Main Extension project, a sealed competitive bidding procurement for construction services involving approximately 800 linear feet of water main installation. The template enables the City to manage project modifications efficiently during the May through June 2026 construction period, allowing flexibility in accommodating changes while maintaining proper authorization and documentation procedures. The form ensures that all directive changes are formally recorded, approved by appropriate City officials, and accompanied by corresponding financial adjustments through formal Contract Change Orders, supporting the City's contract administration and cost control objectives.
