Common use of Delays and Extension of Time Clause in Contracts

Delays and Extension of Time. 4.23.1 If CONTRACTOR finds it impossible for reasons beyond his control to complete the WORK within the CONTRACT TIME as specified or as extended, he shall immediately submit a written request to PM/CM for an extension of time setting forth therein the reasons that he believes will justify the granting of his request. CONTRACTOR'S plea that insufficient time was specified is not a valid reason for extension of time. If PM/CM finds that the WORK was delayed because of conditions beyond the control and through no fault of CONTRACTOR, he may extend the CONTRACT TIME in such amount as the conditions justify. The extended CONTRACT TIME shall be non-compensable and shall be in full force and affect the same as though it were the original CONTRACT TIME. However, if the delay was caused by GILBERT, was unreasonable under the circumstances and was not within the contemplation of the parties, then CONTRACTOR and GILBERT shall enter into negotiations for recovery of damages directly related to the delay.
