<br />Ill. <br /> <br />II. <br /> <br />CHANGES: <br /> <br />A. <br /> <br />Significant changes in the scope, character, or complexity of the work <br />may be enacted by Contract Change Notice (CCN), when necessary, if <br />there is mutual assent between the Contractor and the Department. Such <br />modification must be approved by both the Contractor and the Department <br />before costs may be incurred which will be eligible for reimbursement. <br /> <br />B. <br /> <br />The Engineer may at any time, by written order, and without notice to <br />the sureties, if any, make changes, within the general scope of this <br />contract. He may not, however, unilaterally shorten the period allowed <br />for delivery of a product or completion of an activity, or increase a <br />specified quantity of goods or services. <br /> <br />If any such change causes an increase or decrease in the estimated cost <br />of, or the time required for the performance of any part of the work <br />under this contract, whether changed or not changed by any such order, <br />or otherwise affects any other provision of this contract, an equitable <br />adjustment shall be made. <br /> <br />Any claim by the Contractor for adjustment under this clause must be <br />asserted within thirty (30) days from the date of receipt by the <br />Contractor of the notification of change. Without prejudicing the <br />right to reject any claim asserted after this time, however, if the <br />Engineer decides that the facts justify such action, he may. receive and <br />act upon any spch claim asserted at any time prior to final payment <br />under this contract. Failure to agree to any adjustment shall be a <br />dispute concerning a question of fact within the meaning of the clause <br />of this contract entitled "Disputes." However, except as provided in <br />paragraph (C) below, nothing in this clause shall excuse the Contractor <br />from proceeding with the contract as changed. <br /> <br />C. <br /> <br />Notwithstanding the provision of paragraphs (A) and (B) above, the <br />estimated cost of this contract shall not be increased or deemed to be <br />increased except by specific written modification of the contract indi- <br />cating the new contract estimated cost and the new amount allotted to <br />the contract. Until such modification is made, the Contractor shall <br />not be obligated to continue performance or incur costs beyond the <br />maximum cost amount established in this contract. <br /> <br />DISPUTES: <br /> <br />The Engineer will act as referee in all questions arising between the par- <br />ties under the terms of this contract and his decision shall be final and <br />binding. <br /> <br />(Revised 3/84) <br /> <br />2 of 14 <br />
