Claim for Delay. If Contractor wishes to make a Claim for a delay, written notice shall be given within seven (7) calendar days of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the delay. Contractor’s Claim shall include an estimate of cost and of probable effect of delay on progress of the Work. In the case of a continuing delay, only one Claim is necessary. Contractor will not be entitled to additional Contract Time for delays that do not affect the critical path of the Work. Claim for Additional Time (Adverse Weather). If adverse weather conditions are the basis for a Claim for additional time, such Claim shall be documented by data substantiating that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time, could not have been reasonably anticipated, and had an adverse effect on the scheduled construction. Contractor shall not be entitled to additional compensation for delays caused by adverse weather conditions or any causes beyond District’s control. If the Oregon Office of Emergency Management orders Contractor to halt the Work for reasons beyond Contractor’s control and that were not reasonably anticipated, the Contract Time shall be equitably extended by Change Order, but only on condition that Contractor provides District with written notice of the delay in accordance with the notice requirements of this Contract.
