The Town shall pay the Contractor upon the submission of a voucher at the conclusion of the
contemplated project. Such voucher shall be due and payable within 45 days after receipt of such
voucher, but such sum shall not be due and payable by the Town until the Town Board of the Town
has received such a voucher and has audited and approved for payment the voucher to be submitted
by Contractor in connection therewith.
The Town Board shall process any voucher received from Contractor as expeditiously as
possible. In the event that the Town disputes or objects to any portion of any,voucher submitted by
Contractor pursuant to this paragraph, the Town shall, within 30 days of the receipt of such voucher,
notify Contractor in writing of such dispute or objection. Contractor acknowledges that Contractor
is familiar with the requirements of section 118 of the Town Law which, in effect, prohibit payment
of any of Contractor's claims against the Town unless an itemized voucher therefore shall have been
presented to the Town Board or Town Comptroller and shall have been audited and allowed by the
Town Board or Town Comptroller.
The acceptance by the Contractor of the final payment shall be, and shall operate as a release to
the Town from all claims and all liabilities to the Contractor for all the things done or furnished in
connection with this work and for every act and neglect of the Town and others relating to or arising
out of, this Contract, except Contractor's claims for interest upon the final payment, if this payment
be improperly delayed. No payment, however final or otherwise, shall operate to release the
Contractor or its sureties from any obligations under this Contract.
ARTICLE 4. CHANGES TO THE CONTRACT AND EXTRA WORK
(a) The Town may at times, without notice to the Contractor's surety and without
invalidating the Contract, order extra work or make changes by altering, adding to, or
deducting from the work contemplated herein and may adjust the Contract price
accordingly, pursuant to Paragraph (b) below. The Contractor shall not deviate from,
add to, delete from, or make changes in the Work required to be performed hereunder
unless so directed by a written Change Order. If the Contractor is directed by the Town
to perform extra work prior to an agreement on costs or time, the Contractor shall

change in the work shall be allowed or made unless such extra work or change is

ordered, shall be determined as follows:
1. By a lump sum mutually agreed upon by the Town and the Contractor; or
2. Using the applicable price or prices within the Contract and/or Bid and approved
by the Town and the Contractor.
(c) Regardless of the method used by the Town in determining the value of a Change
Order, the Contractor shall submit to the Town a detailed payment breakdown of the
Contractor's estimate of the value of the omitted or extra work.
(d) Unless otherwise specifically provided for in a Change Order, the agreed compensation
specified therein for extra work includes full payment for extra work covered thereby,

daily reports, bills and vouchers of Subcontractors, receiving documents, freight and
trucking receipts, etc.

Change Order Form must be processed and executed by the Supervising
Department Head;
(ii) if the estimated cost of the extra work is greater than $1,000, then a Change Order
Form must be executed by the Supervising Department Head and submitted to the
Town Board for consideration and approval by resolution. The Contractor must
submit a detailed explanation of why the Change Order is needed and must also be
submitted to the Town Board prior to its approval. The Change Order must also

shall be due the Contractor unless it executes a Change Order on this Form.

will be extra work, that the Contractor for any reason cannot comply with the terms and
provisions of the Contract, or that any action or omission of the Town is contrary to the
terms and provisions of the Contract and will require the Contractor to perform extra
work, the contractor shall:
L Promptly comply with the Town's direction to perform the work which the
contractor claims will be extra work; and

with respect to any said disputed matter, with the performance of the work in
accordance with all the instructions of the Town.
(h) No claim for extra work shall be allowed unless it was performed pursuant to.change
order duly approved by the Town Board. The Contractor's failure to comply with any

contrary to the terms and provisions of the Contract, and
