(a) The requirements of this section shall apply only to the particular type of contract in question.

(c) Change orders for construction, reconstruction and major repair contracts shall be limited to the following types:
1. Unforeseeable problems,
which are defined as conditions or circumstances that could not be foreseen at
the time the specifications were written and the contract awarded; provided
that a substantial amount of the construction would be delayed, which would
result in substantial increases in costs above the original contract amount or
substantial inconvenience to the public if bidding were to be required;
and
2. Minor modifications to
effect economies, improve service or resolve minor problems with affected
property owners.
(d) Change orders for construction, reconstruction and major repair contracts shall not be made for the following:
1. Changes
that materially expand upon the size, nature or scope of the project as it was
originally described in the bid specifications; or
2. Extra work that could reasonably be
effectuated by a separately bid contract without unduly disrupting the basic
work or imposing adverse cost consequences.
