No Extra Work shall <br />be construed as Force Account Work that can be measured under the Specifications and paid <br />for at the unit prices or lump sum named in the Contract. <br />The Owner’s Representative shall compute the amount and costs of any Work to be paid by <br />Force Account, and the amount certified by the Owner’s Representative shall be final as <br />provided in 3.2.
