If sufficient detail on an item does not exist, the contractor may construct it in a manner that is significantly different from that anticipated by the engineer, or may demand extra compensation if the engineer indicates the desired specification after the contract has been awarded. In addition, the drainage superintendent will not be able to identify required maintenance or repair work without the specifications.
