CHAPTER 10 CHANGES TO THE FINAL SUBMISSION
10-1
SCOPE.
Changes made to the drawings and specifications after the Final Submission are
changes to the Contract Documents. Changes before contract award are amendments;
changes after contract award are modifications.
10-2
CHANGE NUMBERS.
Numbers are assigned in numerical order as required. Amendment numbers are
prefixed by three ciphers, for example, the first amendment is numbered "0001."
Modification numbers begin with a "P" followed by five digits; for example, "P 00003" is
the third modification.
The Contracts Division of the Activity assigns change numbers. On A/E prepared
changes, provide a blank space for insertion of the number by the Activity. The
Activity's Contracts Division prepares a cover sheet, Standard Form (SF) 30,
Amendment of Solicitation/ Modification of Contract, for changes; therefore, the first
page of the change's text is page number "2."
10-3
CHANGES COST ESTIMATES.
Accompany changes with detailed cost estimates to indicate all changes in construction
cost of the project, or to substantiate a statement of no change in cost. Prepare cost
estimates in accordance with NAVFAC Cost Engineering Policy and Procedures
cost estimate that can be used in the negotiation of change orders.
10-4
CHANGE FORMAT.
Changes should follow the same order as the contract specifications with each change
item referencing the appropriate section and paragraph by number and title. Some
examples follow.
10-4.1
Specification Changes.
Use Table 10-1, as a guide in preparing changes to the Specifications. Changes to a
Design Build RFP follows a similar logic.
