APPLICATION FOR EXEMPTION CERTIFICATE
Special Notice
Contractors who have completed this application in the past, please note the following changes
in procedure:
The Department will no longer issue individual Certificates of exemption to subcontractors. Only
prime contractors will receive a Contractor’s Exemption Certificate on exempt projects.
Upon receipt of the Certificate, the prime contractor should make a copy for each subcontractor
involved in the project and complete it by filling in the subcontractor’s name and address and
signing it.
The original Certificate should always be retained by the prime contractor. Copies of all
Certificates that the prime contractor issued to subcontractors should be kept at the prime
contractor’s place of business for a minimum of three years and be available for inspection in
the event of an audit.
Once an 89# has been assigned to you, please use the next five numbers following it for any
applications submitted for future projects. This should be your permanent number. For
instance, if you were assigned 89-12345-0001, every application submitted thereafter should
contain 89-12345 on the application. The succeeding numbers will be issued by the
Department of Revenue. DO NOT enter what you believe to be the next in sequence as this
may delay processing of your application.

Modifications to Time of Completion in the Approved Schedule
The date of beginning and the time for completion of the work are essential conditions of the Contract Documents
and the work embraced shall be commenced on a date specified in the Notice to Proceed.
The Contractor will proceed with the work at such rate of progress to ensure full completion within the contract
time. It is expressly understood and agreed, by and between the Contractor and the Owner that the contract time
for the completion of the work described herein is a reasonable time, taking into consideration the climatic and
other factors prevailing in the locality of the work.
Every effort shall be made by the Contractor to complete the project within the "Contract Time" shown in the
proposal. The "Contract Time" anticipates "Normal" weather and climate conditions in and around the vicinity of
the Project site during the times of year that the construction will be carried out. Extensions of time based upon
weather conditions shall be granted only if the Contractor demonstrates clearly that such conditions were
"unusually severe," would not have been reasonably anticipated, and that such conditions adversely affected the
Contractor’s work and thus required additional time to complete the work.
The following specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather. The
listing below defines the anticipated number of calendar days lost to adverse weather for each month and is based
upon National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the geographic location of
the project.

Monthly Anticipated Calendar Days Lost to Adverse Weather Conditions
JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC
(4) (4) (4) (4) (6) (3) (4) (2) (3) (3) (2) (5)
The above schedule of anticipated adverse weather will constitute the base line for monthly (or portion thereof)
weather time evaluations. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed and continuing throughout the
contract on a monthly basis, actual adverse weather days and the impact of adverse weather days that delay the
work will be recorded on a day-to-day basis. It is assumed that the work will be carried out Mondays through
Fridays (holidays accepted) unless an approved construction schedule or written authorization from the Owner
indicates otherwise. The number of days of delayed work due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will then
be compared to the monthly adverse weather schedule above.
An actual adverse weather day must prevent work for 50 percent or more of the Contractor’s workday, delay work
critical to the timely completion of the project, and be documented by the Contractor. The City Representative
observing the construction shall determine on a daily basis whether or not work can proceed or if work is delayed
due to adverse weather or the effects thereof. The Contractor shall notify the Engineer in writing of any
disagreement as to whether or not work can proceed on a given date, within 2 calendar days of that date. The
Owner will use the above written notification in determining the number of working days for which work was
delayed during each month.
At the end of each month, if the number of working days for which work was delayed due to adverse weather
exceeds that shown in the above schedule, a Change Order will be executed which increases the Contract Time.
The number of work days delayed due to adverse weather or the impact thereof will then be converted to Calendar
Days based on the contract completion day and date. This conversion assumes a 5-day work week, Mondays
through Fridays, holidays excepted; should the Contractor have authorization to work weekends and/or holidays,
and then the method of conversion of workdays to calendar days would take this into consideration. The contract
time period will then be increased by the number of calendar days calculated above and a new contract
completion day and date will be set.
The Contractor’s schedule must reflect the above-anticipated adverse weather delays on all weather-dependent
activities.
While extensions of time shall be granted for "unusually severe" weather or climate conditions, the Owner shall
make no monetary compensation for any costs to the Contractor arising out of such delays. The Contractor shall
comply with the portions of the Contract Documents relating to his project schedule and amendments thereto
which result from the "unusually severe" weather condition.
Breakdowns in equipment or lack of performance by the Contractor will not be considered justification for an
extension of time. Liquidated damages will be assessed as delineated elsewhere.
The Contractor shall not be charged with liquidated damages or any excess cost when the delay in completion of
the work is due to the following, and the Contractor has promptly given written notice of such delay to the Owner
or Engineer.
