<br /> 11. CHANGES: <br /> A. 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 /> B. The Engineer may at any time, by written order, and without notice to <br /> the sureties, if any, make changes, within the general Icope 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 /> 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 /> 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 such 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 '~isputes." 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 /> C. 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 /> III. DISPUTES: <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 /> (Revised 3/84) 2 of 14 <br />
