<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 />consumed;
<br />.3 Rental costs of machinery and equipment, exclusive of hand tools, whether rented from the
<br />Contractor or others;
<br />.4 Costs of premiums for all bonds and insurance, permit fees, and sales, use or similar taxes related to
<br />the 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 />may request payment for Work completed under the Construction Change Directive in Applications for Payment.

<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 />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 Constriction Change Directive.
