amount necessary or sufficient within the discretion of the Owner to meet the claims of the persons aforesaid shall be retained, in addition to any other monies due the Contractor under this Contract, until the liabilities aforesaid shall be fully discharged or satisfactorily secured. SECTION 14 - MODIFICATIONS AND EXTRA WORK The Contractor in entering into this Contract understands that the Owner reserves the right to modify the arrangement, character, or size of the work or appurtenances whenever in its opinion it shall deem it necessary or advisable to do so. Minor changes in the work not involving extra cost and not inconsistent with the purpose of the work may be made by verbal order, but no modifications involving substantial extra work or changes shall be made unless ordered by the Engineer. The Contractor shall and will accept such modifications when ordered in writing by the Engineer, and the same shall not vitiate or void this Contract. Any such modifications so made shall not, however, subject the Contractor to increased expense without equitable compensation. If such modifications result in a decrease in the cost of work involved, an equitable deduction from the Contract price shall be made. SECTION 15 - PAYMENT FOR EXTRA WORK The Contractor agrees that they will accept as full compensation for extra work, the unit prices bid, where such are applicable; and for such items as are not properly covered by unit prices, a lump sum agreed upon as reasonable by the Engineer and the Contractor. If an agreement cannot be made on payment for extra work on a unit price or lump sum basis, the Contractor will accept as full compensation the necessary labor, including insurance and payroll taxes, equipment rental and materials, plus fifteen (15%) percent which covers superintendence, the use of tools and plant, and other overhead expenses and profit. In case the extra work is performed by a previously approved subcontractor, the total allowance which covers superintendence, the use of tools and plant, and other overhead expenses and profit shall be twenty (20%) percent instead of fifteen (15%) percent as stated above. Equipment rental charges shall be the prorated charge actually paid by the Contractor in the case where equipment is rented, except that this rental charge shall not exceed the latest rental rates compiled by the Associated Equipment

the prorated charge actually paid by the Contractor in the case where equipment is rented, except that this rental charge shall not exceed the latest rental rates compiled by the Associated Equipment Distributors. If the equipment is owned by the Contractor, the equipment rental charge shall be prorated on the basis of the monthly rates compiled by the Associated Equipment Distributors. All fuel and lubrication costs will be paid for separately. The Contractor agrees to prosecute such extra work with all reasonable diligence, and to employ thereon competent people. The Contractor shall give the Engineer access to all accounts, bills, payrolls, and vouchers relating to extra work not covered by unit prices, and agrees that they shall have no claim for compensation for such extra work in the case of items not covered by unit prices unless a statement in writing of the actual cost of the same, fully itemized as to labor and materials, is presented to the Engineer before the thirtieth (30) day of the month following that during which each specific order was complied with by them. SECTION 16 - CLAIMS FOR UNAUTHORIZED EXTRA WORK If the Contractor performs work which he considers is not included under any of the items of the Contract and which has not been specifically ordered in writing by the Owner as extra work, he shall make a claim for extra payment for such work, with detailed cost data to support their claim, within thirty (30) days after the said work is performed. Should such work extend over a period of more than thirty (30) days, he shall submit monthly records of all cost data relating to the claim for extra payment of such work. GC-5
