forth in Article 26, Contractor waives its right to any relief to which it may otherwise be entitled<br />

by virtue of such an alleged acceleration other than an extension of the Substantial Completion<br />

Date, including, without limitation, relief in the form of an increase in the Contractor’s Fee or<br />

damages. Moreover, except as specifically provided in Section 3.04, Contractor waives any<br />

claim to any relief to which it may otherwise be entitled by virtue of the occurrence of an<br />

Excusable Delay other than an extension of the Substantial Completion Date in accordance with<br />

the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.03, including, without limitation, any claim for an<br />

increase in the Contractor’s Fee or for damages.<br />

Section 3.04. Circumstances Permitting Increase in Contractor’s Fee.<br />

If an Excusable<br />

Delay of the nature described in division (v), (vii), (viii), (ix) or (x) of Section 3.03(a) occurs,<br />

Contractor may receive, in addition to an extension of the Substantial Completion Date, a<br />

reasonable adjustment in the Contractor’s Fee (as defined in Section 4.01 below) to reflect the<br />

additional costs, if any, that Contractor incurs by virtue of the occurrence of that Excusable<br />

Delay. In order to obtain the foregoing adjustment, Contractor must make a written claim to<br />

FedEx in each instance within ten days after the beginning of the Excusable Delay and, if<br />

Contractor fails to make a timely claim for an adjustment in accordance with the foregoing,<br />

Contractor waives its right, if any, to any adjustment in the Contractor’s Fee by virtue of the<br />

occurrence of the Excusable Delay. Within the time reasonably required to compile a detailed<br />

itemization of the additional costs that Contractor and its Subcontractors expect to incur by<br />

reason of the occurrence of the Excusable Delay and such additional documents as FedEx may<br />

reasonably request to corroborate that itemization, Contractor must supplement its claim with<br />

that itemization and those additional documents. Within 15 days after receipt of Contractor's<br />

claim and its supplemental materials, FedEx shall render a good faith written decision granting,<br />

rejecting or modifying Contractor's claim. FedEx may not act unreasonably in rendering its<br />

decision. FedEx’s failure to render a decision on Contractor’s claim within the time set forth<br />

above will constitute a denial of the claim. The parties will resolve any dispute that arises<br />

regarding the action FedEx takes with respect to Contractor’s claim for adjustments to the<br />

Contractor’s Fee in accordance with the procedures set forth in Article 26.<br />

Section 3.05. <strong>Construction</strong> Schedule. Within 14 days after the Effective Date, Contractor<br />

shall submit to FedEx a schedule that Contractor prepares based on the Contract Documents in<br />

accordance with the critical path method in a format acceptable to FedEx, that shows the order in<br />

which Contractor proposes to prosecute the Work and Contractor's estimates of the dates on<br />

which completion of each segment of the Work will occur, and that clearly defines reasonable<br />

unitary and total times for all portions of the Work. That schedule must show the time periods<br />

within which FedEx, and Separate Contractors must complete other tasks that will affect the time<br />

required for Contractor’s performance of the Work. Contractor must include with the schedule a<br />

list of the permits required for Contractor’s lawful performance of the Work and the schedule<br />

must show the outside date by which Contractor anticipates receiving each such permit.<br />

Contractor shall make any adjustments to that schedule that become necessary by reason of<br />

requests by FedEx to adjust the time periods relevant to its tasks and re-submit the revised<br />

schedule to FedEx for approval. After FedEx causes its representative to initial Contractor’s<br />

proposed schedule, that schedule will become the “<strong>Construction</strong> Schedule” for purposes of this<br />

Agreement. Promptly following FedEx’s granting of an extension of the Substantial Completion<br />
