If in the progress of the work upon any improvement there occurs bed rock, flowing sand, or other items not noted in the engineer's report that must be removed or controlled in completion of the required work or causes another function to be performed and that will require additional cost or, if in the progress of the work nonbid material or labor, or both, is needed, the board of county commissioners may, by an order entered on its journal, order the nonbid work to be done by the contractor under the direction and supervision of the county engineer.
