Common use of Delay in Responses to Submittals Clause in Contracts

Delay in Responses to Submittals. Any claim by CMR for a change in the Material Completion Date due to delay of responses to submittals that materially affect the completion of the Work by lengthening the critical path of the Construction Progress Schedule may be made during the time while the failure of the Design Professional to act or perform continues, or within seven days after such failure to act or perform has been cured. If no Submittal Schedule or agreement as required in Section 2.1.5.2 is agreed upon, then a claim for delay will be allowed only after the Design Professional has been allowed twenty-one (21) days to take action. Any claim for extension of time must be reasonable and take into consideration the nature of the submittal. This provision shall apply only to those submittals that are made in a timely manner, and in accordance with the approved submittal schedule.
