Despite diligent project management that has recognized and responded to any change or changed condition, most requests for equitable adjustment cannot be resolved until a more formal, detailed change order proposal has been submitted to the prime contractor or owner. ASA’s white paper Preparation and Presentation of Change Proposals and Claims reviews the purpose, structure and format of change proposals and provides tips for negotiating change proposals and claims. The white paper is available under “Contract Changes and Claims” in the Member Resources section of the ASA Web site.
