This item concerns the City of Cocoa's process for managing changes to construction projects. It outlines how the OWNER and the City's Project Manager can approve extra work or make changes to existing agreements through written change orders. These changes can involve altering, adding to, or deducting from the original scope of work, with adjustments to the contract sum and timeline. The City's Project Manager can make minor changes without additional cost or time, but significant changes require a formal written change order approved by the City. This process is currently under review as part of a City Council meeting. This review could impact future construction projects by clarifying the procedures for change orders, potentially involving site clearing, grading, utility work, paving, framing, mechanical and finish trades, and landscaping. Contractors, suppliers, and service providers should monitor this process as it may influence how future project modifications are handled and could present opportunities to engage with the City early in the planning stages of upcoming construction.
