Common use of Claims by Contractor Clause in Contracts

Claims by Contractor. When the Contractor deems that extra compensation or a time extension is due beyond that agreed to by the County, whether due to delay, additional work, altered work, differing site conditions, breach of Contract, or for any other cause, the Contractor shall follow the procedures set forth in these Contract Documents for preservation, presentation and resolution of the claim. Submission of timely notice of intent to file a claim, time extension request, and the certified written claim, together with full and complete claim documentation, are each a condition precedent to the Contractor bringing any court, arbitration, or other formal claims resolution proceeding against the County for the items and for the sums or time set forth in the Contractor’s written claim. The failure to provide such notice of intent, time extension request, written claim and full and complete claim documentation within the time required shall constitute a full, complete, absolute and irrevocable waiver by the Contractor of any right to additional compensation or a time extension for such claim.
