THE SECOND AND THIRD PARAGRAPHS ARE CHANGED TO: The Engineer reserves the right upon the consultation with the Board of County Commissioners to make in writing, at any time during the work, such changes in quantities and such alterations in the work as necessary to satisfactorily complete the project. Such changes in quantities and alterations do not invalidate the Contract nor release the surety, and the Contractor agrees to perform the work as altered. All changes in quantities, work performed, services rendered, materials, supplies or equipment delivered or provided shall be authorized, permitted or accepted by the Board of County Commissioners upon consultation by the County Engineer by the procedures established in N.J.A.C. 5:30-11.3. Notwithstanding the statutory general requirements for change orders, Change orders shall be used to change the number of units or items originally advertised and contracted for, provided that Unit prices or a price methodology were sought in the original specifications and included in the contract and the original specification and the contract included a provision that the unit prices could be so used. Change orders shall not be used to substantially change the quality or character of the items or work to be provided, inasmuch as such would have been a determining factor in the original bidding. The basis for a change in quantities and alteration shall be agreed upon before the performance of the work. If the basis cannot be agreed upon, then an adjustment will be made either for or against the Contractor in such amount the Engineer may determine to be fair and equitable. If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of the Work to be performed under the Contract, the altered work will be paid for as provided elsewhere in the Contract. The term “significant change” shall be construed to apply only to the following circumstances: 1. When the character of the Work as altered differs materially in kind or nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction, or 104.03.01 Authority to Make Changes (Cont’d) 2. When a major item of work, as defined elsewhere in the Contract, is increased in excess of 120 percent or decreased below 80 percent of the original Contract quantity.

The work to be performed under the contract shall be completed within 180 calendar days.
