What if I am asked by a College employee to do work that causes my awarded contract price to be exceeded?<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n

Requested work in excess of the amount of the awarded contract should not be performed absent the issuance of a revised College purchase order reflecting the amount of such increase. A contractor who initiates work in excess of the value of the awarded contract prior to the issuance of a revised College purchase order does so at the contractor\u2019s sole risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
