Project Manual 11-210C - Ramapo College of New Jersey

9.2.8 In addition to the foregoing, once each month the Contractor will provide a
narrative report to the College. The narrative report will include a description of the amount of
progress during the last month in terms of completed activities in the plan currently in effect, a
description of problem areas, current and anticipated delaying factors and their estimated impact on
the performance of other activities and completion dates, and recommendations on corrective action
for the Contractor. Within seven (7) days after receipt of this report, the Contractor shall submit to
the College, in writing, an explanation of corrective action taken or proposed. The Contracting
Officer, after reviewing the written submissions, shall make a decision binding on all parties.
9.2.9 The monthly submission of the computer-produced calendar-dated schedule shall
be an integral part and basic element of the estimate upon which progress payments shall be made
pursuant to the provisions of "Payment", Article 10 of these General Conditions. The Contractor
shall be entitled to progress payments only upon receipt by the College of an updated CPM schedule.
9.2.10 The Contractor agrees that whenever it becomes apparent from the current monthly
schedule that any Contract Completion Date will not be met, he will take some or all of the following
actions at no additional cost to the College:
(1) Increase construction manpower in such trades and numbers as will
substantially eliminate, in the judgment of the Contracting Officer, the
backlog of work;
(2) Increase the number of working hours per shift, shifts per working day,
working days per week, or the amount of construction equipment, or any
combination of the foregoing sufficiently to substantially eliminate, in the
judgment of the Contracting Officer, the backlog of work; and/or
(3) Reschedule activities to achieve maximum practical concurrence of
accomplishment of activities.
9.3 Adjustment of Contractor Completion Time
9.3.1 The Contract completion time or times will be adjusted only for causes specified in
this Contract. In the event a Contractor requests an extension of any Contract Completion Date, he
shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence that the College or the Architect/Engineer
requires to evaluate the Contractor's request. The Contracting Officer shall then make its finding of
fact and advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the Contracting Officer finds that the Contractor
is entitled to any extension of any Contract Completion Date under the provisions of this Contract, the
determination as to the total number of days extension shall be based upon the currently approved
computer-produced calendar-dated schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data will
be included in the next updating of the schedule.
9.3.2 Two (2) types of time extensions may be issued for this project as follows:
(1) A total project time extension may be issued if delays which are
determined to be beyond the control of the Contractor affect the main
project critical path shown on the CPM Schedule thereby directly
extending the final project completion date.
(2) A concurrent project time extension may be issued in those instances
where it is found that specific delays beyond the control of the Contractor
would have affected the final project completion date were it not for
overriding delays due to other causes. If a concurrent project time
extension is issued, it will over that time which, according to the CPM
