In HiCAMS, the user is required to include either a line item or contract time statement on all supplemental agreements. This type of supplemental agreement does not result in a change in the quantity or price for any line items.

To enter this type of Supplemental Agreement, go to Functions -> Review Contract Adjustments -> Review Supplemental Agreements

Follow the instructions in the Supplemental Agreements User Guide with these exceptions:

The Contractor will be allowed to begin wasting Unclassified Excavation prior to the completion of embankments subject to the following requirements:
1. The Contractor shall provide and incorporate into the project, at no additional cost to the Department, any material required to complete the project up to the volume wasted. All additional costs for providing and incorporating this material into the work, including engineering costs, shall be exclusively borne by the Contractor, and
2. Any replacement material incorporated into the project shall be either suitable material wasted from the project or approved borrow material, at the Contractor's option, and
3. The Contractor agrees that he shall present no claim for any time arising from the wasting of excess unclassified excavation or for having to replace material wasted from the project which the Department may require to complete the work, and
4. The Contractor specifically waives his rights to request additional compensation with regard to wasting unclassified excavation under the compensation provisions of Section 104 as a result of wasting suitable unclassified excavation and providing replacement material required to complete the work except when unclassified excavation is a major contract item, as defined in Article 101-53, and when unclassified excavation underruns by more than 25%.
