No claim for a change of the Contract Price shall be <br /> considered or granted (except solely at the discretion of the Owner) unless a claim is so made, <br /> nor shall the Contractor be entitled to any increase in the Contract Price unless the Contractor <br /> has given notice and made such a written claim within the times required.
