However, failure of the prospective contractor to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such person from participation in this transaction.

If it is later determined that the contractor knowingly rendered an erroneous certification in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

4. The prospective contractor shall provide immediate written notice to the department to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective contractor learns that its certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.

10. Except for transactions authorized under paragraph 6 of these instructions, if a contractor in a covered transaction knowingly enters into a lower tier covered transaction with a person who is suspended, debarred, ineligible or voluntarily excluded from participation in this transaction, in addition to other remedies available to the Federal Government, the department may terminate this transaction for cause or default.

104 Scope of Work

104.2.2 Issuing Change Orders

Replace subsection 104.2.2 with the following and rearrange to add a 104.2.2.7 effective with the February 2026 letting.

104.2.2.1 Change Orders for Differing Site Conditions

(1) During the progress of the work, if one or more of the following differing conditions are encountered at the site, the party discovering the condition must promptly notify the other party of the specific condition before further disturbing the site and before further performing the affected work.

1. A subsurface or latent physical condition, differing materially from those indicated in the contract.

2. An unknown physical condition of an unusual nature, differing materially from those ordinarily encountered and generally recognized as inherent in the work specified in the contract.

(2) If the contractor discovers the differing condition, the contractor shall provide oral notification as specified in 104.3.2, of the specific differing condition before further disturbing the site and before further performing the affected work.

(3) The project engineer will investigate the conditions. If the project engineer determines the conditions materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost, time, or both, required to perform the work under the contract, the project engineer will adjust the contract price, time, or both, and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The project engineer will respond to the contractor as to whether or not an adjustment is warranted. The project engineer will follow the contractor notification procedures specified in 104.3.

(4) The department will not allow a contract adjustment unless the contractor has provided the required notice as specified in 104.3.

104.2.2.2 Change Orders for Engineer-Ordered Suspensions

(1) If the project engineer suspends or delays the performance of all or any portion of the work in writing for an unreasonable period of time (not originally anticipated, customary, or inherent to the construction industry) and the contractor believes that additional payment, contract time, or both, is due because of the suspension or delay, the contractor shall notify the engineer as specified in 104.3.

(2) The project engineer will evaluate the contractor's request. If the project engineer agrees that the cost, time, or both, required for the performance of the contract has increased due to the suspension or delay and the suspension or delay was caused by conditions beyond the control of and not the fault of the contractor, its suppliers, or subcontractors at any approved tier, and not caused by weather, the project engineer will make an adjustment and modify the contract in writing accordingly. The project engineer will respond to the contractor as to whether or not an adjustment is warranted as specified in 104.3.6.

(3) The project engineer will not consider a contract adjustment unless the contractor submits the request for adjustment within the time specified above.

(4) The project engineer will not consider a contract adjustment under this clause to the extent that the performance would have been suspended by any other cause, or for which an adjustment is provided or excluded under any other term or condition of this contract.

104.2.2.3 Change Orders for Altered Work

(1) If original contract work is altered from what is included in the contract, the department will adjust the contract if the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original contract.

(2) Before performing altered work, reach agreement with the project engineer for any price adjustments as specified in 109.4. If the project engineer does not agree that the work has significantly changed and a price adjustment is justified, follow the notification procedures as specified in 104.3.

(3) If the alterations do not significantly change the character of the work under the contract, the department will not adjust the contract.

104.2.2.4 Change Orders for Quantity Variations

(1) If all original contract work for a bid item is completed as required in the contract, and the measured quantity for that bid item varies from the contract quantity, the department will adjust the contract if the department or contractor demonstrates that the quantity variation affects the contractor's unit cost to perform the work and meets one of the criteria…
