General

The Work Order, Form 1137, is a written order by the Engineer requiring performance by the Contractor. It is used to finalize discussions between Contractor and Engineer in which directions have been given, or agreements reached on methods, units of work, or extra work to be performed. An example of Form 1137 is shown in Figure 103-1.


The form should be completed in as much detail as necessary for clear understanding of the directions or agreement. An item code and item of work (description) should be assigned to all items being added to the contract during preparation of form 1137.


The work order should be stamped by the issuing Engineer and the prime Contractor's representative indicating understanding and agreement. PDF stamps should be dynamic stamps, noting the name, time and date of each party.


Work Orders are to be directed to the Prime Contractor, but on occasion an extra copy may be prepared for a Subcontractor. If negotiating new item pricing, Engineers are to coordinate final pricing and negotiations with the Prime Contractor in accordance with section 109.05 of the Standard Specifications for Construction. When required, work orders are to be followed up by a contract change order prepared and submitted to the Contractor for signature within seven days of the issuance of the work order.


For FHWA identified Risk-Based Project Involvement (RBPI) projects, Engineers must review the project's Stewardship and Oversight Plan to determine if FHWA preapprovals are required. If FHWA approval is obtained, a notation (including the name of the federal representative) to that effect should be made on copies of the work orders being transmitted to the Region and Lansing offices.
