ARCHITECT INSTRUCTIONS

[VERIFY WITH ARCHITECT THE TYPES OF ARCHITECT INSTRUCTIONS TO BE USED ON PROJECT]

A. There are two forms of Architect Instructions used on the Project, namely the Architect’s Supplemental Instruction (“ASI”), AIA Document G710, and the Proposal Request (“PR”), AIA Document G709. These documents will be issued by the Architect and distributed by the Leopardo Companies Inc. to affected Subcontractors.

1. ASI’s are used by the Architect to issue supplemental instructions or interpretations involving minor changes in the Work that will not affect the contract price or schedule.

2. Bulletins, often termed “Proposal Requests” are used by the Architect to identify changes in the Contract Documents which may affect the Subcontractor’s contract price or schedule. An itemized write-up narrative and corresponding “bubbled” change on the drawings or specifications usually accompanies this document. B. Bulletins sent to Subcontractors which may involve a change in the contract price or schedule will be accompanied by –the Leopardo Companies Inc. form entitled “PCO- Quotation Only” . In the event that the timing does not allow the For Quote Only process, then Leopardo Companies Inc. will issue its form entitled “PCO–Notice to Proceed” to the Subcontractor.

The PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) will describe the change or reference the appropriate documents and will have attached the detailed descriptions, sketches and plans required for the Subcontractor to quote the change.

PART 3 - COMPENSATION OF OVERHEAD AND PROFIT FOR CHANGES IN THE WORK

3.01

CONTRACTOR’S OVERHEAD AND PROFIT

A. When changed Work is performed by a Subcontractor itself and not by its Subordinate Party, the Subcontractor’s charge for overhead and profit shall in no event exceed [INSERT IF REQUIRED - fifteen percent (15%) OR AS APPROPRIATE] of the approved cost of the changed Work. When changed Work is performed by a Subcontractor’s Subordinate Party, the Subcontractor’s charge for overhead and profit shall in no event exceed [INSERT IF REQUIRED - five percent (5%) OR AS APPROPRIATE] of the approved cost of the changed Work . B. When changed Work is performed by the Subcontractor’s Subordinate Party, the Subordinate Party’s charge for overhead and profit shall in no event exceed [INSERT IF REQUIRED - fifteen percent (15%) OR AS APPROPRIATE] of the approved cost of the changed Work when such Work does not involve the Subordinate Party’s subcontractors; or [INSERT IF REQUIRED - five percent (5%) OR AS APPROPRIATE] of the approved cost of the changed Work when such changed Work is performed by the Subordinate Party’s subcontractors. C. Subcontractor and Subordinate Party overhead and profit shall include cost (at the Project Site, home office and otherwise) of supervision, telephone, travel, copying, administrative services, office, power, light, tools, jobsite vehicles, and all other general expenses. In no event shall these be charged as cost of the Changed Work.

C. Leopardo Companies Inc. will send the PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) to all potentially affected Subcontractor.

D. Once the Subcontractor receives the PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) or the PCO- Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed), it shall prepare a detailed cost estimate for the change. This estimate shall include an itemized takeoff of labor, equipment and material with a unit cost for each item. Under no circumstances will a PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) or a PCO- Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed) be processed unless accompanied by a complete cost breakdown. The PCO- Quotation Only must be returned no later than the date indicated on the PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) or at the direction of Leopardo Companies Inc.. E. Once completed, the Subcontractor shall sign and date the PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) and submit it with proper backup to Leopardo Companies Inc.. Leopardo Companies Inc. will then review, evaluate, possibly negotiate and then when acceptable, process the PCO-Bulletin (Quotation Only) through the Owner's Representative and Architect's Representative. Once the quote for the work under the PCO- Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed) is submitted to Leopardo Companies Inc., it will review, evaluate, possibly negotiate, and then, when acceptable, process the resulting Change Order through Owner’s Representative and Architect’s Representative. F. The PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) is a document used for processing Subcontractor's quotations and is not a Change Order. Therefore, completion of the PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) does not release the Work to begin. G. PCO- Bulletin (Quotation Only) and the PCO-Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed) will precede a Change Order. Subcontractors shall receive an approved PCO- Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed) or an executed Change Order before starting Work. Any changed Work performed by Subcontractor without a properly executed PCO- Construction Change Directive (Notice to Proceed) or a properly executed Change Order is at Subcontractor’s sole risk and expense. BILLINGS AGAINST CHANGES WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED AFTER A PCO- CONSTRUCTION CHANGE DIRECTIVE (NOTICE TO PROCEED) OR FOR PCO-BULLETINS (QUOTE ONLY) IS ISSUED, BUT ONLY AFTER A CHANGE ORDER HAS BEEN PROCESSED AND SIGNED BY ALL PARTIES.
