1. when the character of the Work as altered differs materially in kind or
nature from that involved or included in the original proposed construction; or
2. when the product of the quantity in excess of the estimated quantity of
a contract item and the unit price exceeds the limits set forth in Table 104.02-1.

of the estimated quantity, and the total of all such adjustments for all Contract
Items is more than $400, then after the determination of final quantities according
to 109.12.C, the Engineer will adjust the unit prices for the affected Contract item
by multiplying the bid unit price by the factor obtained from Table 104.02-2.
