The intent of the Contract is to provide for the construction and completion in every detail of The Work described. The

Contractor shall furnish all labor, materials, equipment, tools, transportation, and supplies required to complete The Work in accordance with the Plans, Specifications, and terms of the Contract.

104.02 Special Work

Should any construction or conditions not thoroughly or satisfactorily stipulated and set forth by the Standard Specifications and Supplements thereto be anticipated on any proposed work, Special Provisions for such work will be included in the

Proposal and the Contract as a part thereof. Should any such Special Provisions contain requirements in conflict with the

Standard Specifications and Supplements thereto, the Special Provisions will govern.

104.03 Alteration of Plans or Character of Work

A. Authority to Make Changes

The Department reserves the right to make, at any time during the progress of The Work, such increases or decreases in quantities and such alterations in the details of construction, including alterations in the grade or alignment of the road or structure or both, as may be found necessary or desirable. Such increases or decreases and alterations shall not invalidate the contract nor release the Surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform The Work as altered, the same as if it had been a part of the original Contract.

Whenever an alteration in character of Work involves a substantial change in the nature of the design or in the type of construction or materially increases or decreases the cost of performance, a Supplemental Agreement acceptable to both parties shall be executed before work is started on such alteration, except that in the absence of a Supplemental

Agreement acceptable to both parties, the Engineer may direct that the Work be done by Force Account. Any Force

Account Agreement shall be in writing, specifying the terms of payment, signed by the State Construction Engineer and agreed to in writing by the Contractor.

All work shall be performed as directed and in accordance with the Specifications.

B. No Waiver of Contract

Changes made by the Engineer will not be considered to waive any of the provisions of the Contract, nor may the

Contractor make any claim for loss of anticipated profits because of the changes, or by reason of any variation between the approximate quantities and the quantities of work as done.

C. Certain Items Not Limited

The Engineer has unlimited authority to increase or decrease these quantities.

D. Changes in Other Quantities

The Engineer may increase or decrease the quantities of any and all other Pay Items, without changing the Unit Prices

Bid, provided that the sum total of such changes, exclusive of changes in those items covered in Subsection 104.03.C, does not increase or decrease the original Contract amount by more than 20 percent.

E. Changes to Original Length or Cost of Project

The Engineer has the authority to extend or reduce the total length or total cost of the Project by as much as 20 percent.

The provisions of Subsection 104.03.C, covering overruns or underruns of certain Pay Items apply also to overruns or underruns in quantities resulting from an extension or reduction in the length of the Project. If the Project is extended in length, an Extension Agreement will be executed. If the Extension Agreement calls for Pay Items already in the

Contract, the Unit Prices for such Items will not be changed except as provided in Subsections 104.03.A, 104.03.B and

104.03.D. New work for which no Unit Prices have been Bid will be paid for as Extra Work as defined in Subsection

The Engineer will give due consideration to such delays in determining the time for completion of the

Contract.

104.04 Extra Work

The Contractor shall perform unforeseen work, for which there is no price included in the Contract, whenever it is necessary or desirable in order to complete fully the work as contemplated. Such work shall be performed in accordance with the

Specifications and as directed, and will be paid for as provided in Subsection 109.05.

104.05 Maintenance During Construction
