Common use of Differing Site Condition Clause in Contracts

Differing Site Condition. THE SECOND PARAGRAPH IS CHANGED TO: The Department will make payment for increased costs resulting from a Type 1 or Type 2 Differing Site Condition as a change in the character of work; however, the Department will not consider making payment for a differing site condition unless the resulting change in cost exceeds $7,500. Except, if the Contractor incurs cost as the result of multiple differing site conditions, with the cost of each separate differing site condition having a value of at least $1,500 but not more than $7,500, the Department will consider making payment for such costs if the aggregate cost of the multiple differing site conditions exceeds $7,500. If the change in cost exceeds these amounts, the Department will base the modification on the total cost of the change, and the Department will not deduct the threshold amount of $7,500 from the cost of the change.
