The basis for the <br /> adjustment shall be agreed upon prior to the performance of the work If a basis <br /> cannot be agreed upon , then an adjustment will be made either for or against the <br /> contractor in such amount as the engineer may determine to be fair and equitable . <br /> C) If the alterations or changes in quantities do not significantly change the character of <br /> the work to be performed under the contract, the altered work will be paid for as <br /> provided elsewhere in the contract. <br /> d ) The term "significant change" shall be construed to apply only to the following <br /> circumstances : <br /> 1 ) When the character of the work as altered differs materially in kind or nature <br /> from that involved or included in the original proposed construction ; or <br /> 2 ) When a major item of work , as defined elsewhere in the contract, is <br /> increased in excess of 125 percent or decreased below 75 percent of the original <br /> contract quantity.
