A sample job, from the request to the change order

1. Background and Objective

The Company will rebuild the R-14 regulator station in place and add an outlet relief valve. The station sits on an existing 40-foot by 40-foot easement on a private farm parcel on County Road 31, north of Cedar Flats in Larch County. The Company is designing the work and a contractor will build it, with construction planned for fall 2026. The Supplier will provide right-of-way research, a temporary use agreement for staging and access, permitting support and project coordination.

2. Description of the Work

• Rights research at the station parcel: review the recorded easement, the rights for the drive and piping to the road, and current vesting, and confirm whether the new fence fits inside the existing easement once a site plan is available.
• One temporary use agreement (TUA) with the farm parcel owner for staging and access: landowner contact, negotiation, document preparation, signing and the payment check request.
• The county access permit for the construction entrance on County Road 31, and preparation of the traffic control permit application.
• GIS exhibits for the TUA and the access permit.
• Cross-functional team (CFT) meetings every two weeks, with schedule and status input.
• Project management and coordination with the Company’s project manager and land agent.

3. Schedule

Work begins on Notice to Proceed and issuance of a Purchase Order, and runs about 120 days, through the start of construction.

Sections 4 and 5 list the deliverables and the location. They’re in the PDF.

6. Assumptions and Exclusions

• Scope assumes one TUA with the farm parcel owner, plus contingency for one additional affected landowner. Work materially beyond this will be addressed by change order.
• Permit fees and landowner payments are billed at actual cost as pass-through reimbursables.
• No new or amended easement, survey, staking or recording is included. If the new fence does not fit inside the existing easement, an easement amendment will be a change order.
• Preparation of the traffic control permit application is included. Traffic control itself is excluded.
• All work is performed after Notice to Proceed and issuance of a Purchase Order.

7. Risks

• There is no site plan yet. The fence may need an easement amendment.
• If construction moves, project management and CFT meetings run longer.

1. Background and Objective

This Change Order #1 amends the Individual Scope of Work dated May 5, 2026 and the Not-to-Exceed of Purchase Order 4500631190. Sections of the original ISOW not shown here are unchanged.

Reason for Change Order

1. The landowner asked to move staging to the north pasture, so the TUA must be renegotiated and signed again.
2. Larch County now requires a grading permit for the new staging area, in addition to the access permit.
3. Construction moved from fall 2026 to spring 2027, so project management and CFT meetings continue until construction starts in March 2027.

The new staging location and the grading permit were not known when the Purchase Order was issued. The construction delay is the schedule risk named in the original ISOW.

2. Description of the Work

The original ISOW funded rights research, one TUA, the county access permit and the traffic control permit application, GIS exhibits, CFT meetings and project management through fall 2026. Change Order #1 covers:

• A revised TUA and exhibit for the north pasture.
• The county grading permit application, and an extension of the access permit.
• Project management and CFT meetings every two weeks until construction starts in March 2027.

The fence question is still open. An easement amendment, if needed, will be a separate change order.

3. Schedule

Through the start of construction, now planned for March 2027.
