A non-construction project is implemented using the advance funding agreement (AFA) and any sub-agreements between the local government (LG) and consultants or service providers. Contract amendments are common to projects and involve work added to or deleted from the contracted scope of work, the addition or deletion of deliverables, and/or adjustments in the project schedule. In cases that involve changes to the scope of work, the LG must ensure continuity of the scope with the approved STIP, or request a STIP modification. In most instances, if there are no changes in the scope of work or deliverables, contract amendments should not be executed solely for extensions in time. Details on the procedures used for executing contract amendments and the responsibilities of each party to the AFA are described in the (LGPM Guide).
