Construction Change Orders Process
Change Orders are generated from Requests for Information that result in changes to the work and/or field generated by Construction Change Directives approved by the Project Manager during the course of construction and/or negotiated with the Contractor by the PSU Project Manager.
Contractor puts together the Change Order (AIA Document G701) with complete backup documentation and appropriate markups and sends three wet-signature copies to Consultant Architect.
Architect reviews the Change Orders for accuracy, signs the three copies and sends to the Project Manager at PSU Facilities and Planning. The Project Manager gives to the Contracts Coordinator in order to check backup and markups.
Contracts Coordinators arrange for the Assistant Attorney General to review and approve the Change Order for legal sufficiency, if necessary.
Contracts Coordinators send the Change Orders (under transmittal) to the PSU Contract Officer for signature. For the larger contracts, the Vice President of Finance & Administration (FADM) will sign the Change Orders for PSU.
Wet signature copies of fully executed Change Order are distributed to the Consultant Architect and the Contractor, and one goes to the Project File. A copy of the cover and signature pages are sent to Business Office controller.
