Original design data include the preliminary survey information, design assumptions, calculations, drawings, and the presentation in the contract. Changes in the number of units SHOWN in the SCHEDULE OF ITEMS may be authorized under any of the following conditions:

(1) As a result of changes in the work authorized by the Contracting Officer.

(c) Actual Quantities (AQ). These quantities are determined from measurement of completed work.

(d) Vehicle Quantities (VQ). These quantities are measured or weighed in hauling vehicles.

(e) Lump Sum Quantities (LSQ). These quantities denote one complete unit of work as required by or described in the contract including necessary materials, equipment, and labor to complete the job. They will not be measured.
