Section 104.03 Change Orders

Protests to Change Orders - A protest is not a substitute for notice as specified in 104.03.04.

A protest is notice that the terms and conditions for proposedwork are not in accordance with the Contract, quantity

adjustments are incorrect, or that the modification for ContractTime is incorrect. For Change Orders that require the Contractor’s assent

(Supplementary Agreements), if the Department processes theChange Order within 15 days of receiving the Contractor’s

signature, the Contractor is barred from protesting the approvedChange Order.

If the Contractor does not protest the order – with a specificreason, it can not be the basis of a claim.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec


Section 104.03.03 Changes

Quantity Increases/Decreases –

Bid prices hold only for increases and decreases thatare within 25% of proposal quantity. Outside that,

prices may be renegotiated.

“Proposal quantity” does not include quantitiesdesignated on the Plans as “if and where directed.”

For minor changes (those ≤ 25%)

payment is made at the bid price.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



For major increases (those >25% )

Either the Dept or the Contractor may request torenegotiate the price for the quantity in excess of

125% of the Proposal Qty.

For items measured by the unit – we won’t negotiatea fraction of the unit.

If price can not be mutually agreed upon – pricedetermined by Force Account.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



EXAMPLE #1:Proposal calls for 1,000 LF of curb and 200 LF were designated as

IWD. A COP increases the item by 500 LF.

Proposal Qty = 1,000 – 200 = 800 LF

First 25%, 200 LF, performed at bid priceExcess >125%, 300 LF, performed at re-negotiated price.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



EXAMPLE #2:Proposal calls for 5 Units of Inlets, Type B. A COP increases the item by 2 Units.

The first unit is < 25% and is performed at bid price.

For the second unit, since it exceeds 25%, the entire second unit is eligible for renegotiation.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



For major decreases (those >25% )

Either the Dept or the Contractor may request torenegotiate the price for the quantity of work

performed.

If price can not be mutually agreed upon – pricedetermined by Force Account.

However, the Department won’t pay an amount of more than 75 percent of the original value of the item(bid price multiplied by the Proposal quantity)

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



The Department will consider costs attributed to theitem – which are allocations for work for which noItem is provided in the Contract if the Contractor has

escrowed its bid documents as specified in 103.05. The Department will not make payment for lost

anticipated profits.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



If the cost difference for the renegotiated qty is less

than $5,000 - payment will be made at the bid price.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



EXAMPLE #3:Proposal calls for 5,000 CY of DGABC at $10/CY. A COP

decreases the item by 3,000 LF.

The remaining 2,000 CY is eligible for renegotiation. However,the total cost can not exceed 75% x 5,000 x $10 = $37,500 (or $18.75/CY)

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



If a major change results in a renegotiated price, the RE willdetermine the locations of which work is to be performed at therenegotiated price and which locations of work is performed atthe bid price.

Subsequent increases in quantities are performed at therenegotiated price. However if subsequent increases exceed25% of the Proposal Qty and 25% of the adjusted qty, theprices may be re-renegotiated.

When the locations of the work to be performed at arenegotiated price are established, subsequent decreases inquantities of work at the bid price will not affect the quantity of work at the renegotiated price.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



EXAMPLE #4:The Proposal calls for 800 LF of Beam Guide Rail. A COP increases the quantity 450 LF to 1,250 LF.

200 LF of the increases is paid at the bid price, $ PB1 and 250 LF is paid at a renegotiated price $P R1.

A subsequent COP further increases the quantity 300 LF to 1,550 LF.

200 LF is paid at the renegotiated price $ PR1, , and 100 LF would be eligible for a second renegotiated price $ PR2 Because it exceeds 25% of the Proposal (300 > 25% x 800= 200) and 25% of the quantity at the established price for $ PB1 (300 > 25% x 250).

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



EXAMPLE #5:The Proposal calls for 800 LF of Beam Guide Rail. A COP increases the quantity 450 LF to 1,250 LF.

200 LF of the increases is paid at the bid price, $ PB1.and 250 LF is paid at a renegotiated price $P R.. The Change Order will note the location(s) for the quantity being paid at $ PR.

If a subsequent COP decreases the item by 300 LF. The quantitydesignated to be paid at $ PR1 is not effected even thought the overall qtyis now less than 125% of the Proposal. It is still paid at the renegotiatedprice. The quantity is only effected if the COP specifically decreases.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



For Deleted work – If the Contractor orderedmaterials before notification of the decrease, theDepartment will make payment for material costs or

restocking costs. Material must be acceptable to be eligible (approved

source and meets materials requirements).

Does not apply to quantities listed as IWD.

No profit applied to cost

Total payment may not exceed the bid pricemultiplied by the deleted quantity.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



When the entire quantity of an item isdesignated as IWD:

Quantity increases must be more then 100%of Proposal to be eligible for renegotiation of the price.

Quantity decreases – quantity will be paid atbid price. Not eligible for renegotiation.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



Changes in the character of work

Efficiencies or inefficiencies resulting from minor increases or decreases in quantities of work are nota change in the character of work.

Modification (+/-) is made for the difference betweenwhat the actual cost to perform the work of the Item

or portion thereof involved would have been if therewere no change

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



Differing Site Conditions - replaces old 108.09Unusual Site Conditions

Follows federal claims language for Type 1 and Type

2 Differing Site Conditions

Type 1 is when a subsurface or latent conditiondiffers from that specified in the Contract.

Type 2 is when unusable conditions are encounteredthat differ from those ordinarily encountered/inherent in the work.

8/4/2019 2007 Con Spec



Differing Site Condition claims must meet thresholdto qualify for payment:

– Contracts ≤$2M > $5,000

– Contracts >$2M > $25,000

Threshold is not a deductible. Department will payfor entire amount due if met.

the Department will consider the cumulative totalvalue for the same condition encountered multipletimes on a project as meeting the requirements.
