The process of changing contractors in a construction project can be complex and may involve a variety of considerations. Some common steps that may be involved in changing contractors include:

Identifying the need for a change

The first step in the process is to determine that a change of contractors is necessary. This may be due to problems with the existing contractor, such as delays, cost overruns, or disputes. It may also be due to changes in the scope or direction of the project, or to the availability of a more qualified or cost-effective contractor.

Negotiating a termination of the existing contract

If you are changing contractors in the middle of a project, you will typically need to negotiate a termination of the existing contract. This may involve reaching an agreement with the existing contractor on any outstanding issues, such as unpaid fees or damages, and obtaining a release from any liability.

Identifying and evaluating potential replacement contractors

Once the existing contract has been terminated, you will need to identify and evaluate potential replacement contractors. This may involve soliciting bids or proposals from multiple contractors, and comparing their qualifications, experience, and pricing.

Negotiating and signing a new contract

Once you have identified a suitable replacement contractor, you will need to negotiate and sign a new contract that outlines the terms and conditions of the work that will be done.

Coordinating the transition

Once the new contract is in place, you will need to coordinate the transition from the old contractor to the new one. This may involve transferring any necessary documents or information, and making sure that the new contractor has filed for the change at the City.
