An approved contract change order is required whenever the change affects the payment provision or the scope of the work. Such changes may be necessitated by new and amended Federal and State regulations and requirements. As soon as possible after receipt of a written change request from Pierpont Community & Technical College, but in no event more than thirty (30) days thereafter, the Vendor shall determine if there is an impact on price with the change requested and provide Pierpont a written statement to identifying any price impact on the contract or to state that there is no impact.
