CACI No. 4523
Contractor’s Claim for Additional
Compensation—Abandonment of Contract
The contract between the parties provided for certain procedures to be
followed if [name of plaintiff] wanted to be paid for changed or additional
work that was not initially required by the contract. These procedures
are called “change-order requirements.”
[Name of plaintiff] claims that [name of defendant] required many changes
and that the parties consistently ignored the contract’s change-order
requirements. Therefore, [name of plaintiff] claims that the contract was
abandoned and that the change-order requirements no longer applied.
To establish this claim, [name of plaintiff] must prove the following:
1. That the parties through their conduct consistently disregarded
the contract’s change-order requirements; and
2. That the scope of work under the original contract had been
altered by the changes so much that the final project was
significantly different from the original project.
