Summary: Field Change Order and Assessment Installation Form
Contact: Please contact your Account Manager
Effective January 1, 2024, the following process requirements will be in place for Field Change Orders and the Assessment Installation Form.
Field Change Orders
For projects where the approved workscope is different than the final workscope, regardless of the dollar amount, a Field Change Order must be completed and signed by the household as affirmation they have been informed of the modification to the project. In instances where the changes are greater than $500, the Participating Contractor must receive approval from the Program. This can be a call to the account manager or through the contractor support line if the account manager is unavailable.
Assessment Installation Form
For all projects, the Assessment Installation Form must be reviewed and signed by the household. Preferably, this should occur at the time of the assessment; however, it can be signed at a later stage providing a signed copy is uploaded as part of the final project submission.
Currently, NYSERDA is working with the BPCA and Participating Contractors to review and streamline existing Program forms. NYSERDA expects this to effort be completed in early 2024 and will provide updates to the forms and requirements once available.
