Negotiating and Administering Effective Claims and Change Order Procedures in Public Construction Contracts
This program will introduce municipal practitioners to effective, owner-protective change order and claims language and procedures to use in Public Contracts. The key elements for change order notice, cost-substantiation, pricing change orders, owner directed changes, dispute resolution and the role of the A/E in the change order process will be analyzed. Participants will be exposed to different change order provisions commonly used in contracts and will learn the “traps for the unwary” that arise from application of standard, industry-driven change order processes. Participants will review actual case studies applying various claims and change order provisions in payment disputes arising under a contract and see how the language you draft and how you administer the procedure can drastically impact the outcome of the claim and the final price of the Work.
