<br />.4 As provided in Section 7.3.7.
<br />§ 7.3.4 If unit prices are stated in the Contract Documents or subsequently agreed upon, and if quantities originally
<br />contemplated are materially changed in a proposed Change Order or Construction Change Directive so that
<br />application of such unit prices to quantities of Work proposed will cause substantial inequity to the Owner or
<br />Contractor, the applicable unit prices shall be equitably adjusted.
<br />§ 7.3.5 Upon receipt of a Construction Change Directive, the Contractor shall promptly proceed with the change in
<br />the Work involved and advise the Architect of the Contractor's agreement or disagreement with the method, if any,
<br />provided in the Construction Change Directive for determining the proposed adjustment in the Contract Sum or
<br />Contract Time.
<br />§ 7.3.6 A Construction Change Directive signed by the Contractor indicates the Contractor's agreement therewith,
<br />including adjustment in Contract Sum and Contract Time or the method for determining them. Such agreement shall
<br />be effective immediately and shall be recorded as a Change Order.
<br />§ 7.3.7 If the Contractor does not respond promptly or disagrees with the method for adjustment in the Contract Sum,
<br />the Architect shall determine the method and the adjustment on the basis of reasonable expenditures and savings of
<br />those performing the Work attributable to the change, including, in case of an increase in the Contract Sum, an
<br />amount for overhead and profit as set forth in the Agreement, or if no such amount is set forth in the Agreement, a
<br />reasonable amount. In such case, and also under Section 7.3.3.3, the Contractor shall keep and present, in such form
<br />as the Architect may prescribe, an itemized accounting together with appropriate supporting data. Unless otherwise
<br />provided in the Contract Documents, costs for the purposes of this Section 7.3.7 shall be limited to the following:
<br />.1 Costs of labor, including social security, old age and unemployment insurance, fringe benefits required
<br />by agreement or custom, and workers' compensation insurance;
<br />.2 Costs of materials, supplies and equipment, including cost of transportation, whether incorporated or
<br />consumed;
<br />.3 Rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the Contractor
<br />or others;
<br />.4 Costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to the
<br />Work; and
<br />.5 Additional costs of supervision and field office personnel directly attributable to the change.
<br />§ 7.3.8 The amount of credit to be allowed by the Contractor to the Owner for a deletion or change that results in a
<br />net decrease in the Contract Sum shall be actual net cost as confirmed by the Architect. When both additions and
<br />credits covering related Work or substitutions are involved in a change, the allowance for overhead and profit shall
<br />be figured on the basis of net increase, if any, with respect to that change.
<br />§ 7.3.9 Pending final determination of the total cost of a Construction Change Directive to the Owner, the Contractor
<br />may request payment for Work completed under the Construction Change Directive in Applications for Payment.
<br />The Architect will make an interim determination for purposes of monthly certification for payment for those costs
<br />and certify for payment the amount that the Architect determines, in the Architect's professional judgment, to be
<br />reasonably justified. The Architect's interim determination of cost shall adjust the Contract Sum on the same basis
<br />as a Change Order, subject to the right of either party to disagree and assert a Claim in accordance with Article 15.
<br />§ 7.3.10 When the Owner and Contractor agree with a determination made by the Architect concerning the
<br />adjustments in the Contract Sum and Contract Time, or otherwise reach agreement upon the adjustments, such
<br />agreement shall be effective immediately and the Architect will prepare a Change Order Change Orders may be
<br />issued for all or any part of a Construction Change Directive.
<br />§ 7.4 MINOR CHANGES IN THE WORK
<br />The Architect has authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving adjustment in the Contract Sum or
<br />extension of the Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract Documents. Such changes will be
<br />effected by written order signed by the Architect and shall be binding on the Owner and Contractor.
