Abstract:

The focus of this digest is to explore whether there are statutory, procedural, and/or legal tests to determine when the issuance of a contract modification (sometimes referred to in this digest and supporting materials as a “change order”) triggers the obligation to competitively bid the added or modified work rather than process it as a contract modification to an existing contract. This digest covers the following topics: the policy issues underlying restrictions on contract modifications; state and federal statutes and regulations affecting contract modifications; case law defining tests and examples of where contract modifications triggered competitive bidding requirements; the importance of including contract modification provisions in construction contracts; and case studies of how representative state departments of transportation determine the permissibility and scope of contract modifications versus competitive bidding.
