Sec. 11.702  Construction contracts.



    Construction contracts may authorize a variation in estimated 

quantities of unit-priced items. When the variation between the 

estimated quantity and the actual quantity of a unit-priced item is more 

than plus or minus 15 percent, an equitable adjustment in the contract 

price shall be made upon the demand of either the Government or the 

contractor. The contractor may request an extension of time if the

quantity variation is such as to cause an increase in the time necessary 

for completion. The contracting officer must receive the request in 

writing within 10 days from the beginning of the period of delay. 

However, the contracting officer may extend this time limit before the 

date of final settlement of the contract. The contracting officer shall 

ascertain the facts and make any adjustment for extending the completion 

date that the findings justify.
