As a means of predetermining unit costs for changes in certain elements of the work, the project specifications may require that the bidders furnish unit prices for those items. Unit prices for application to changes in the work are not a basis for determining the lowest bidder. Non-competitive unit prices proposed by the lowest bidder may be rejected or negotiated by the awarding authority prior to contract award. Unit prices for application to changes in the work are not effective unless specifically agreed upon in the construction contract.
