Identification
Document title and unique addendum number linked to the original contract; include project name, address, and contract reference to ensure unambiguous association across procurement and record systems.
A Miscellaneous Lighting Adds provides a concise, signed record of agreed lighting scope, cost, and timing changes so procurement, permitting, and payment teams can act without re-opening the core contract. It clarifies responsibilities and creates an auditable trail for project closeout and warranty triggers.
