Sec. 305.19  Contract change orders.

    After construction contracts have been executed, it may become 
necessary to alter them. This requires a formal contract change order, 
issued by the recipient and accepted by the contractor.
    (a) All contract change orders must be concurred in by EDA even if 
the recipient is to pay for all additional costs resulting from the 
change or the contract price is to be reduced.
    (b) The work on the project may continue pending EDA review and 
concurrence in the change order but the recipient should be aware that 
all such work will be at the recipient's risk as to whether the cost for 
the work will be an eligible project cost for EDA participation until 
EDA concurrence is received.
    (c) EDA will not approve financial participation in change orders 
that are solely for the purpose of using excess funds resulting from an 
underrun of one or more of the items in the approved project budget.
    (d) When a change order is for a project funded with one-year funds, 
EDA approval of such change order must be based on a finding by EDA that 
the work called for in the change order is within the project scope and 
is required for satisfactory operation or functioning of the project.
