§ 3536.606-70 - Modifications.

When a modification involves work not initially included in the contract, the limitation on the total contract price set forth in 3536.606(a)(1) is applicable, as applied to the revised total estimated construction costs. When redesign is required and the contract is modified, the following method shall be used to insure that the six percent (6 percent) statutory limitation is not exceeded:

(a) The estimated construction cost of the redesigned features will be added to the original estimated construction cost;

(b) The contract cost for the original design will be added to the contract cost for redesign; and

(c) The total contract design cost obtained by paragraph (b) of this subsection will be divided by the total construction cost obtained by paragraph (a) of this subsection. The resulting percentage may not exceed the six percent (6 percent) statutory limitation.
