Common use of Significant Changes Clause in Contracts

Significant Changes. All significant changes causing an increase or decrease in the unit cost of a pay item must be documented with a completely executed Supplemental Agreement or Unilateral Payment. Note that either of these types of contract changes will require an Entitlement Analysis and an Engineer's Estimate. Certification of availability of funds must be obtained from the Comptroller’s Office prior to directing the Contractor to perform the work when the change results in an increase in the cost of the project.
