Without invalidating the Agreement, the Design Professional/Engineer/Project Manager may at any time, by written order, direct extra Work within the general scope or alter the Work by addition or deduction of items that do not alter the scope of the Work. Such changes may be effected by Field Order or by other written order. Such changes shall be binding on the Contractor. No officer, employee, or agent of the County is authorized to direct any extra or change Work orally. B. If changes to the Scope of the Work are required or if the Contract time or the total Contract Amount is increased by the additional Work, a Change Order approved by the Board will be required. C. The value of such extra Work or change shall be determined by schedule of values if applicable unit values are set forth in the Agreement. The amount of the change shall be computed from such values and added to or deducted from the Agreement Amount. If the applicable unit values are not in the Contract, the value of such extra Work or change shall be determined by negotiation. D. Should a Change Order be required, and the County and the Contractor are unable to agree on the requested change, the Contractor shall, nevertheless, promptly perform the change as directed in writing by the Design Professional/Engineer/Project Manager. If the Contractor disagrees with the Design Professional/Engineer/Project Manager's adjustment determination, the Contractor must make a claim pursuant to the Claims and Dispute Section herein, or else be deemed to have waived any claim on this matter it might otherwise have had. E. For new Work not covered by schedule of values, the amount of an increase shall be limited to the Contractor's reasonable direct labor and material costs and reasonable actual equipment costs as a result of the change (including allowance for labor burden costs) plus a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for all overhead and profit. In the event such change Work is performed by a subcontractor, a maximum ten percent (10%) markup for all overhead and profit for all subcontractors' direct labor and material costs and actual equipment costs shall be permitted, with a maximum five percent (5%) markup thereon by the Contractor for all of its overhead and profit, for a total overall maximum markup of fifteen percent (15%) of the amount of change Work. Sales and use taxes are not subject to the markup allowance. Material provided by the Contractor, for use by the Subcontractor, is only allowed the ten percent (10%) markup by the Contractor. All compensation due the Contractor and any Subcontractor or sub-subcontractor for field and home office overhead is included in the markups noted above. F. In an emergency endangering life or property, or as expressly set forth herein, the Design Professional/Engineer/Project Manager has the authority to order the necessary Work in writing. The County shall not be liable to the Contractor for any increased compensation without such written order. The payment authorized by a written order shall represent full and complete compensation to the Contractor for labor, materials, incidental expenses, overhead, profit, impact costs, and time associated with the Work authorized by such written order. G. Execution by the Contractor of a properly authorized Change Order (see Appendix Sample Change Order) shall be considered a waiver of all claims or requests for additional time or compensation for any activities prior to the time of execution related to items included in the Change Order.
