CHANGES AND DELAYS
2.1 Changes
Owner shall have the right, by written order executed by Owner, to make changes to the

Order"). When a Services Change Order causes an increase or decrease in the amount of the

Consultant to make any claim for damages, anticipated profits, or other compensation.
Consultant shall not undertake any change in the Services without receipt of an executed
Services Change Order from Owner.
2.2 Delays
For any delay that may result from causes that could not be avoided or controlled by
Consultant, Consultant, upon timely written application, shall be entitled to an extension of the

extension of the Contract Time shall be allowed for any other delay in completion of the
Services. In the event of a delay in the project outside of the control of Consultant that affects
Consultant's ability to perform the Services, the Contract Price shall be adjusted for any actual
increase in costs necessarily incurred by Consultant in the performance of the Services.
2.3 No Constructive Service Change Orders
No claim for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Price or Contract Time shall be
made or allowed unless it is embodied in a Services Change Order agreed to by Owner and

Change Order, including the equitable adjustment, or the additional equitable adjustment, in the
Contract Price or Contract Time that Consultant claims has not been included, or fully included,

in a Services Change Order. Such request shall be submitted before Consultant proceeds with
any Services for which Consultant claims an equitable adjustment is due.

phases, the balance of that portion of the Contract Price with respect to such phase of the
Services, after deducting therefrom charges, if any, against Consultant as provided for in this
Contract ("Final Payment"). The acceptance by Consultant of Final Payment with respect to the
Services or a particular phase of Services, as the case may be, shall operate as a full and
complete release of Owner of and from any and all lawsuits, claims, or demands for further
payment of any kind for the Services or, if the Services are performed in separate phases, for that
phase of the Services.

7
obligations in question or furnished security for such performance satisfactory to Owner. Owner
shall be entitled to apply any money withheld or any other money due Consultant under this
Contract to reimburse itself for any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, liabilities, suits,
judgments, awards, and reasonable attorneys' fees (collectively "Costs") incurred, suffered, or
sustained by Owner and chargeable to Consultant under this Contract. Owner shall notify

by Owner of money to reimburse such Costs.
