REVISION OF SECTION 108
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
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
(7) (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 calendar days for which work was delayed during
each month.
At the end of each month, if the number of work 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.
REVISION OF SECTION 108
PROSECUTION AND PROGRESS
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.
1. To any preference, priority, or allocation order duly issued by the Owner.
2. To unforeseeable causes beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the
Contractor, including but not restricted to, acts of God, or of the public enemy, acts of the
Owner, acts of another Contractor in the performance of a contract with the Owner, fires,
floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, strikes, freight embargoes, and abnormal and
unforeseeable weather as provided above.
3. To any delays of Subcontractors occasioned by any of the causes specified in paragraphs 1
and 2, above.
