Common use of CONTRACT TIME EXTENSIONS Clause in Contracts

CONTRACT TIME EXTENSIONS. All claims for extensions of time shall be made in writing in accordance with the process for Change Orders described in Section 24.3; otherwise, they will be disallowed. If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the Work by any act or neglect of Owner, or its employee, or by any separate contractor employed by Owner, or by changes ordered in the Work, or Unavoidable Delay, the Contract Time may be extended by Change Order for such reasonable time as Owner may determine. Contractor shall use reasonable good faith efforts to notify Owner not later than five (5) days after Contractor knows of the occurrence of an Unavoidable Delay or any other delay. 5.5.1 An extension of time for an Unavoidable Delay shall only be for a period of the Unavoidable Delay, which period shall commence to run from the time of the commencement of the cause of the Unavoidable Delay. 5.5.2 An extension in Contract Time for a delay will be allowed only in the case that a Normal Working Day or Accepted Working Day is lost. A “Normal Working Day” is defined as any day, except weekends and holidays, during which the Contractor can work for at least four (4) hours. Delays will not be allowed for any other non-working days (e.g., weekends and holidays). 5.5.3 Claims by the Contractor for delays will not be allowed on account of failure to furnish interpretations, until fourteen (14) Calendar Days after a Request for Information is submitted by the Contractor, and then not unless such claim is reasonable.
