5.8 Final payment shall be made only after the City has reviewed and approved the final application for payment. The acceptance of final payment shall constitute a waiver of all claims by Contractor, except those previously made in strict accordance with the provisions of the Agreement and identified by Contractor as unsettled at the time of the application for final payment. ARTICLE 6. REQUESTS FOR INFORMATION (RFI) The Contractor shall submit in writing a Request for Information (RFI) to the City where the Contractor believes that the specifications or drawings are unclear or conflict. All requests must be submitted in a manner that clearly identifies the drawing and/or specification section where clarification or interpretation is being requested. ARTICLE 7. FIELD DIRECTIVES The City may at times issue Field Directives to the Contractor based on visits to the Project site. Such Field Directives shall be issued in writing and the Contractor shall be required to comply with such directive. Where the Contractor believes that the directive is outside the scope of the Work, the Contractor shall, within 48 hours, notify the City that the Field Directive is outside the scope of the Work. At that time the Field Directive may be rescinded or the Contractor may be required to submit a request for a Change Order proposal. Where the Contractor is notified of the position that the Field Directive is within the scope and the Contractor disagrees, the Contractor shall notify the City that the Contractor reserves the right to make a claim for the time and monies based on the Field Directive. At no time shall the Contractor refuse to comply with the directive. Failure to comply with the directive may result in a determination that the Contractor is in default of the Agreement. ARTICLE 8. CHANGE ORDERS 8.1 Changes in the quantity or character of the Work of the Project which are not properly the subject of Field Directives shall be authorized only by Change Orders approved in advance and issued in accordance with the guidelines of the City. 8.2 All changes to the Work must be pre-approved in writing, in advance, by the City in accordance with the value of the Change Order or the calculated value of the time extension. In the event Contractor fails to follow this procedure and performs additional Work without first obtaining pre- approval in writing by the City Manager or his designee, the Contractor shall not be entitled to any additional monies in connection with the additional Work performed. 8.3 In the event satisfactory adjustment cannot be reached for any item requiring a change in the Contract Amount, the City reserves the right at its sole option to either terminate the Agreement as it applies to the items in question and make such arrangements as may be deemed necessary to complete the disputed work; or may submit the matter in dispute as set forth in the dispute resolution procedures set forth in this Agreement. 8.4 On approval of any change increasing the Contract amount, Contractor shall ensure that the Bonds are increased accordingly.
