Additional work constitutes an actual modification of or an ad True False

Explanation / Answer

Ques 1 : option (c) Cardinal changes

A cardinal change is defined as a change in which “the purpose of the original agreement has been frustrated or made impossible by the extent of the requested change.” Cardinal changes can leave a contractor unprotected and in a dangerous financial situation because they are being directed to perform a significant task that was not a part of the original agreement without any assurance that they will be compensated. The change maybe due to unexpected inclement weather, financial problem etc. It’s the responsibility of the contractor to prove that a cardinal change was requested, which can be risky because if they aren’t successful, they may be in breach of contract themselves.

Ques 2 : False

Its actually mismatched.

“additional work” is work that was “necessarily required in performance of the contract” entitling the party performing the work with no additional compensation.

“Extra work” is work that was “entirely independent of the contract and not contemplated by the parties”. Extra work entitles the party performing it with additional compensation for the work.
