The Owner reserves the right to make, at any time during the progress of the work, such increases or decreases in quantities and such alterations in details of construction as may be found to be 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. Unless such alterations and increases or decreases materially change the character of the work to be performed or the cost thereof, the altered work shall be paid for at the same unit prices as other parts of the work. No claim shall be made by the Contractor for any loss of anticipated profits because of any such alteration, or by reason of any variation between the approximate quantities and the quantities of work as done. If, however, the character of the work or the unit costs thereof are materially changed, an allowance shall be made on such basis as may have been agreed to in advance of the performance of the work, or in case no such basis has been previously agreed upon, then an allowance shall be made, either for or against the Contractor, in such amount as the Owner may determine to be fair and equitable.

The Engineer will thereupon promptly cause the investigation of said conditions, and if they are found to so materially differ and cause an increase or decrease in the cost of, or the time required for performance of the Contract, an equitable adjustment will be made. Any adjustment in compensation because of a change or changes resulting from one or more of the conditions described in the previous Paragraph will be made in accordance with the provisions of Extra Work.
