CPNMD Interconnect Pipeline Specs 8-1-12 - Garney Construction

The Contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in
paragraph 15. Time extensions will be granted only to the extent that equitable
time adjustments for the activity or activities affected exceed the total or remaining
float along the critical path at the time of actual delay. Delays in activities
which are not on the critical path and do not affect Contract completion dates,
will not be considered for an extension of time.
15. CAUSES FOR EXTENSIONS OF TIME. Additional positive total float in the
Progress Schedule generated by efficiencies of District or Contractor is a shared
commodity to be reasonably used by either party, and belongs exclusively to
the Project. The Contractor is not entitled to any additional compensation for
completion of the project prior to expiration of the Contract Times.
15.01. District-Initiated Changes. District initiated changes to the Contract work
that absorb float time will not be considered for an extension of time. Districtinitiated
changes that affect the critical path of the Progress Schedule shall be
grounds for extending or shortening completion dates. Use of float time for
Contractor initiated changes will require District's concurrence. Contractor's
changes, however, shall give way to District-initiated changes competing for
the same float time.
15.02. Outside Contractor's Control. Events outside of the Contractor's control
that affect the critical path of the Progress Schedule will be considered for an
extension or reduction of the Contract Times.
15.03. Weather Delays. District Representative will obtain weather data during
construction from a reputable source, and will maintain weather records.
District Representative will determine Contractor's entitlement to an extension of
the Contract time as a result of weather delays, based on the flow chart on
Figure 1-01310 and the data included in Tables 1 and 2. Extensions of time will
be granted at the discretion of the District Representative for circumstances not
covered by the flow chart.
Any weather-related extension of Contract time shall be non-compensable.
Efficiencies gained as a result of favorable weather within a calendar month,
where the number of days of normally anticipated weather days is less than
expected, shall contribute to the project float and shall not affect the Contract
Times.
