Section 18. Option Letters Option Letters may be used to extend Agreement term, change the level of service within the current term due to unexpected overmatch, add a phase without increasing contract dollars, or increase or decrease the amount of funding. These options are limited to the specific scenarios listed below. The Option Letter shall not be deemed valid until signed by the State Controller or an authorized delegate. Following are the applications for the individual options under the Option Letter form: Option 1 — Level of service change within current term due to unexpected overmatch in an overbid situation only. In the event the State has contracted all project funding and the Local Agency's construction bid is higher than expected, this option allows for additional Local Overmatch dollars to be provided by the Local Agency to be added to the contract. This option is only applicable for Local Overmatch on an overbid situation and shall not be intended for any other Local Overmatch funding. The State may unilaterally increase the total dollars of this contract as stipulated by the executed Option Letter (Exhibit D), which will bring the maximum amount payable under this contract to the amount indicated in Exhibit C-1 attached to the executed Option Letter (future changes to Exhibit C shall be labeled as C-2, C-3, etc, as applicable). Performance of the services shall continue under the same terms as established in the contract. The State will use the Financial Statement submitted by the Local Agency for "Concurrence to Advertise" as evidence of the Local Aaencv's intent to award and it will also provide the additional amount reauired to exercise this option. If the State exercises this option, the contract will be considered to include this option provision. Option 2 — Option to add overlapping phase without increasing contract dollars. The State may require the contractor to begin a phase that may include Design, Construction, Environmental. Utilities, ROW Incidentals or Miscellaneous (this does not apply to Acquisition/Relocation or Railroads) as detailed in Exhibit A and at the same terms and conditions stated in the original contract with the contract dollars remaining the same. The State may exercise this option by providing a fully executed option to the contractor within thirty (30) days before the initial targeted start date of the phase, in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit F. If the State exercises this option, the contract will be considered to include this option provision. Option 3 - To update funding (increases and/or decreases) with a new Exhibit C. This option can be used to increase and/or decrease the overall contract dollars (state, federal, local match, local agency overmatch) to date, by replacing the original funding exhibit (Exhibit C) in the Original Contract with an updated Exhibit C-1 (subsequent exhibits to Exhibit C-1 shall be labeled C-2, C-3, etc). The State may have a need to update changes to state, federal, local match and local agency overmatch funds as outlined in Exhibit C- 1, which will be attached to the option form. The State may exercise this option by providing a fully executed option to the contractor within thirty (30) days after the State has received notice of funding changes, in a form substantially equivalent to Exhibit D. If the State exercises this option, the contract will be considered to include this option provision. Section 19. Disputes Page 7 of 1
