Any contract change order or amendment or aggregate change orders or amendments of a contract not covered under subsection (A) that exceeds 25% of the original contract amount may be executed only if the state procurement administrator or, in the case of construction on state property, the Assistant Director of General Services, determines in writing that the change order or amendment is advantageous to the state and the price is determined fair and reasonable pursuant to R2-7-702. C. The agency chief procurement officer may, in situations in which time or economic consideration preclude re-solicitation, negotiate a reduction to the contract, including scope, price, and contract requirements under A.R.S. § 41-2537.
