The Change Order shall include all outstanding Interim Directive Changes issued since the last Change Order. 9.3 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK 9.3.1 The Design-Builder may make minor changes in the design and construction of the Project consistent with the intent of the Contract Documents which do not involve an adjustment in the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee, the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and do not materially and adversely affect the design of the Project, the quality of any of the materials or equipment specified in the Contract Documents, the performance of any materials, equipment or systems specified in the Contract Documents, or the quality of workmanship required by the Contract Documents. 9.3.2 The Design-Builder shall promptly inform the Owner in writing of any such changes and shall record such changes on the Design-Build Documents maintained by the Design-Builder. 9.4 UNKNOWN CONDITIONS If in the performance of the Work the Design-Builder finds latent, concealed or subsurface physical conditions which materially differ from the conditions the Design-Builder reasonably anticipated, or if physical conditions are materially different from those normally encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the kind of work provided for in this Agreement, then the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee, the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and if appropriate the compensation for Design Phase services, shall be equitably adjusted by Change Order within a reasonable time after the conditions are first observed. The Design-Builder shall provide the Owner with written notice within the time period set forth in Paragraph 9.6. 9.5 DETERMINATION OF COST 9.5.1 An increase or decrease in the GMP or estimated Cost of the Work resulting from a change in the Work shall be determined by one or more of the following methods: 9.5.1.1 unit prices set forth in this Agreement or as subsequently agreed; 9.5.1.2 a mutually accepted, itemized lump sum; 9.5.1.3 costs determined as defined in Paragraph 7.2 and Article 8 and a mutually acceptable Design-Builder’s Fee as determined in Subparagraph 7.4.1; or
9.5.1.4 If there is a net increase in the GMP, the Design-Builder’s Fee shall be adjusted at a rate of 4% of the Cost of Change in the Work. In case of a net decrease in the GMP, the Design-Builder’s Fee shall not be adjusted unless ten percent (10%) or more of the Project is deleted. The Design-Builder shall maintain a documented, itemized accounting evidencing the expenses and savings.
9.5.2 If unit prices are indicated in the Contract Documents or are subsequently agreed to by the Parties, but the character or quantity of such unit items as originally contemplated is so different in a proposed Change Order that the original unit prices will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or the Design-Builder, such unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.

9.5.3 If the Owner and the Design-Builder disagree as to whether work required by the Owner is within the scope of the Work, the Design-Builder shall furnish the Owner with an estimate of the costs to perform the disputed work in accordance with the Owner’s interpretations. If the Owner issues a written order for the Design-Builder to proceed, the Design-Builder shall perform the disputed work and the Owner shall pay the Design-Builder fifty percent (50%) of its actual, direct cost to perform the work. In such event, both Parties reserve their rights as to whether the work was within the scope of the Work. The Owner’s payment does not prejudice its right to be reimbursed should it be determined that the disputed work was within the scope of Work. The Design-Builder’s receipt of payment for the disputed work does not prejudice its right to receive full payment for the disputed work should it be determined that the disputed work is not within the scope of the Work.

9.6 CLAIMS FOR ADDITIONAL COST OR TIME For any claim for an increase in the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee and the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and if appropriate the compensation for Design Phase services, the Design-Builder shall give the Owner written notice of the claim within twenty-one (21) Days after the occurrence giving rise to the claim or within twenty-one (21) Days after the Design-Builder first recognizes the condition giving rise to the claim, whichever is later. Except in an emergency, notice shall be given before proceeding with the Work. Claims for design and estimating costs incurred in connection with possible changes requested by the Owner, but which do not proceed, shall be made within twenty-one (21) Days after the decision is made not to proceed. Thereafter, the Design-Builder shall submit written documentation of its claim, including appropriate supporting documentation, within twenty-one (21) Days after giving notice, unless the Parties mutually agree upon a longer period of time. The Owner shall respond in writing denying or approving the Design-Builder’s claim no later than fourteen (14) Days after receipt of the Design-Builder’s documentation of claim. Owner’s failure to so respond shall be deemed a denial of the Contractor’s claim. Any change in the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee, the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and if appropriate the compensation for Design Phase services, resulting from such claim shall be authorized by Change Order.

9.7 EMERGENCIES In any emergency affecting the safety of persons or property, the Design-Builder shall act, at its discretion, to prevent threatened damage, injury or loss. Any change in the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee, the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and if appropriate the compensation for Design Phase services, on account of emergency work shall be determined as provided in this Article.

9.8 CHANGES IN LAW In the event any changes in laws or regulations affecting the performance of the Work are enacted after either the date of this Agreement or the date a GMP Proposal is accepted by the Owner and set forth in Amendment No. 1 to this Agreement, whichever occurs later, the GMP, estimated Cost of the Work, the Design-Builder’s Fee, the Date of Substantial Completion or the Date of Final Completion, and if appropriate the compensation for Design Phase services, shall be equitably adjusted by Change Order.
