Not later than June 1, 2010, the State Contracting Standards Board shall adopt regulations, in accordance with the provisions of chapter 54, concerning the procedure and circumstances under which a state agency may allow contract modification, change order, or contract price adjustment under a construction contract with the state in excess of fifty thousand dollars. Such regulations shall require that every contract modification, change order or contract price adjustment under a construction contract with the state in excess of fifty thousand dollars shall be subject to prior written certification by the fiscal officer of the state contracting agency or other agency responsible for funding the project or the contract, or other official responsible for monitoring and reporting upon the status of the costs of the total project budget or contract budget, as to the effect of the contract modification, change order, or adjustment in contract price on the total project budget or the total contract budget. Such regulations shall further provide that in the event the certification of the fiscal officer or other responsible official discloses a resulting increase in the total project budget or the total contract budget, the agency procurement officer shall not execute or make such contract modification, change order, or adjustment in contract price unless sufficient funds are available or the scope of the project or contract is adjusted so as to permit the degree of completion that is feasible within the total project budget or total contract budget as it existed prior to the contract modification, change order, or adjustment in contract price under consideration provided, with respect to the validity, as to the contractor, of any executed contract modification, change order, or adjustment in contract price which the contractor has reasonably relied upon, it shall be presumed that there has been compliance with the provisions of this section.
