    11. When signed by Contractor and Owner, each Change Order becomes a Contract Document.

Payments required under this paragraph shall be made as the Work progresses, concurrently with progress payments.

    16. Failure of Contractor and Owner to agree on the cost of a change in the Work or failure to agree that Extra Work is required does not prejudice the right of Contractor to Claim that Work performed was beyond Requirements of the Contract Documents.
