If such changes or alterations diminish the quantity of the work to be done, they shall not
<br />constitute the basis for a claim for damages, or anticipated profits on the work that may be

<br />ment." If the amount of work is increased, and the work can fairly be classified under the speci-
<br />fications, such increase shall be paid for according to the quantity actually done and at the unit
<br />price, if any, established for such work under this contract, except as provided for unit price
<br />items under Section 5"Measurement and Payment;" otherwise, such additional work shall be paid
<br />for as provided under Extra Work. In case the OWNER shall make such changes or alterations as
<br />shall make useless any work already done or material already furnished or used in said work,
<br />then the OWNER shall recompense the CONTRACTOR for any material or labor so used,
<br />and for any actual loss occasioned by such change, due to actual expenses incurred in preparation
<br />for the work as originally planned.

<br />specifications or drawings, the ENGINEER shall define which is intended to apply to the work.
<br />3.07 EQUIPMENT, MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTION PLANT. The CONTRACTOR
<br />shall be responsible for the care, preservation, conservation, and protection of all materials,
<br />supplies, machinery, equipment, tools, apparatus, accessories, facilities, all means of construction,
