CHANGE ORDERS

The Plaquemines Parish School Board, in order to increase or decrease the amount of a contract after bids have been officially accepted by the Board, shall require the approval of a change order.  A change order shall be submitted by the contractor to the project architect and upon his/her recommendation, such change orders shall be submitted to the Superintendent for his/her recommendation of action to be taken by the Board if the change order is of $1,000.00 or more.

If approved by the Board, the Superintendent or designee, in consultation with the architect, shall put the change order into effect and make it a part of the official contract price.

Change orders of less than $1,000.00 may be approved without Board action.  Board members will be informed of such changes by the Superintendent.
