Claims for Additional Compensation.

(b) The written notice of potential claim shall set forth the reasons for which Contractor believes additional compensation will or may be due, the nature of the costs involved, and insofar as possible, the amount of the potential claim. The said notice as above required must have been given to the Project Manager prior to the time that Contractor shall have performed the work giving rise to the potential claim for additional compensation, or in all other cases, within 30 Days after the happening of the event, thing, occurrence, or other cause giving rise to the potential claim. (c) It is the intention of this Section 11.6.1 that differences between the Parties arising under and by virtue of the Contract be brought to the attention of the SFMTA at the earliest possible time in order that such matters may be settled, if possible, or other appropriate action promptly be taken. Contractor agrees that it shall have no right to additional compensation for any claim that may be based on any such act, failure to act, event, thing, or occurrence for which no written notice of potential claim as herein required was filed.
