Variation Order Request
Contractor-initiated variation request under Cl. 36. Covers scope description, rate basis (schedule of rates / market rate), and time impact. Triggers employer's 14-day response obligation.
When to use this letter
When site conditions, employer instructions, or design changes alter the scope of work originally tendered. Send before executing the changed work; retrospective variation requests routinely get rejected.
