Modification authorizing such force account work as provided in the Contract Documents.

I. When standard manufactured items are specified such as fence, wire, plates, rolled shapes, pipe conduit, etc., and these items are identified by gage, unit weight, section dimensions, etc., such identification will be considered to be nominal weights or dimensions. Unless more stringently controlled by tolerances in cited Specifications, manufacturing tolerances established by the industries involved will be accepted.

J. When estimated quantities for a specific portion of the Work are designated as the pay quantities in the Contract, they shall be the final quantities for which payment for such specific portion of the Work will be made, unless the dimensions of said portions of the Work shown on Drawings are revised by Contract Modification signed by the Contracting Officer.

1. If revised dimensions result in an increase or decrease in quantities of such Work, final quantities for payment will be revised in the amount represented by the authorized changes in the dimensions.
