If the contractor files timely notice that he was delayed by weather sufficiently severe as to entitle Contractor to additional time, Contractor should furnish promptly, a statement of the portion of the work affected, an explanation as to the reasons work was prevented or hindered by the weather if not readily apparent, the dates on which such portions of work were affected, the total number of days the job in its entirety was delayed, and other information such as official weather bureau climatological data for a ten year period, local weather bureau data, job daily records, etc. Time extensions due to adverse weather shall not be allowed after the Contract Substantial Completion date. Construction time is based on Local Average weather conditions. Requests for time extensions due to adverse weather, shall be considered only for and equal to the number of "rain days" in excess of the ten year mean average number of days for any given time period as shown by the the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Climatic Data Center, Ashville, North Carolina for Tallahassee, Florida. The mean number of "rain days" for a month is as shown on the "U.S. Summary Report" under the heading "Number of days -- Precipitation .01 inch or more". If current rainfall is less than average, the contract time will not be shortened. Extension of time requests due to adverse weather shall be submitted within twenty (20) days after adverse weather. The Contractor shall submit the referenced climatological summary data immediately upon its availability and shall show how the time extension request corresponds with the climatological data. 8.3.1.2 Extension of time will be granted only to the extent that equitable time adjustments for activity or activities affected exceed the total float or slack associated with those activities at the time the direction to proceed was issued for the change. The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that delays in activities which do not affect any milestone completion dates shown on the network at the time of delay shall not be a basis for granting a time extension. 8.3.2 Claims relating to time shall be made in accordance with applicable provisions of Paragraph 4.3. 8.3.3 If the Contractor submits a progress report indicating, or otherwise expresses an intention to achieve, completion of the work prior to any completion date required by the Contract Documents or expiration of the Contract Time, no liability of the Owner to the Contractor for any failure of the Contractor to so complete the Work shall be created or implied. 8.3.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Contract Documents, an extension in the Contract Time, to the extent permitted under Paragraph 8. 3.1. shall be the Contractor’s sole remedy on account of such delay and the Contractor shall have no claim for any (1) delay in the commencement, prosecution additional costs or completion damages on account of the Work, (2) such hindrance or obstruction in the performance of the Work, delay (3) loss of productivity, or (4) other similar claims (collectively referred to in this Paragraph 8.3.4 as Delays) whether or not such Delays are foreseeable, unless a Delay is caused by acts of the Owner constituting active interference with the Contractor's performance of the Work, and only to the extent such acts continue after the Contractor furnishes the Owner with notice of such interference.

The Airport Authority may in its discretion recognize Excusable Delay where (i) weather conditions arise of an extraordinary nature, outside the range of reasonably anticipatable weather conditions in the Detroit area, (ii) the Governor of the State of Michigan has declared a state of emergency as a result of such weather conditions, so long as that state of emergency applies to the area of the Site, and (iii) such conditions prevent any performance of the Work for an extended period. Without limitation of the other provisions of this Paragraph 7.4, no extension of the Construction Duration will be granted for a delay caused by a shortage of materials, equipment or other similar remunerationelements of the Work or by labor disputes or disruption. The OwnerAirport Authority's exercise of any of its rights or remedies under the Contract Documents (including, without limitation, ordering changes in the Work, or directing suspension, rescheduling or correction of the Work), regardless of the extent or frequency of the OwnerAirport Authority's exercise of such rights or remedies, shall not be construed as active interference with the Contractor's performance of the Work. 8.3.5 Failure 7.4.2 Whenever the Contractor claims an extension of the Construction Duration, only the necessary delay caused to complete completion of the Project within Work as a whole shall be considered in measuring or evaluating the time fixed in this Agreement or extent of the delay. No extension of the Construction Documents will result in substantial injury Duration shall be granted for delays affecting portions of the Work which are not Critical Path Activities on the latest accepted Baseline CPM Schedule. In any event, even though a cause of delay meets the above conditions, any extension shall be granted only to the Ownerextent that the effect of such cause could not be avoided or mitigated by the exercise of all reasonable precautions, efforts and measures (including planning, rescheduling or resequencing work activities, and as damages arising reallocating and redeploying forces), whether before or after the occurrence of the cause of delay. No extension shall be granted for any delay which, in whole or in part, results from such failure cannot be calculated with any degree or arises out of certainty within the time fixed acts or within such further time, omissions of the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as Liquidated Damages for such delay, and or a delay which would not as a penalty, an amount stipulated in the Construction Documents. These Liquidated Damages shall be payable in addition to any expenses or costs payable by the Contractor to the Owner under the provisions of the Contract Documents and shall not exclude the recovery of damages of the Owner under the Contract Documents. The Contractor shall pay to the Owner as Liquidated Damages for such delay, and not as a penalty, Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) for each and every calendar day elapsing between the date fixed for Substantial Completion and the date such Substantial Completion shall have been fully accomplished. It is also hereby agreed that if after thirty (30) calendar days after Substantial Completion this Project is not fully and finally completed in accordance with the requirements of the Contract Documents, the Contractor shall pay to the Owner as Liquidated Damages, and not as a penalty, for such delay, one-fourth (1/4) of the rate previously indicated. These Liquidated Damages shall be payable in addition to any expenses or costs payable by the Contractor to the Owner under the provisions of the Contract Documents and shall not exclude the recovery damages of the Owner under the Contract Documents. This provision of Liquidated Damages for delay shall in no manner affect the Owner's right to terminate the Contract. The Owner's exercise of the right to terminate shall not release the Contractor from his obligation to pay Liquidated Damages. It is further agreed that the Owner may deduct from the balance of the Contract Sum held by the Owner the Liquidated Damages stipulated herein, or such portions as said balance will cover. 8.3.6 The Contractor agrees to make no claim for damages for delay in affected the performance of the contract occasioned by Contract were it not for the fault of the Contractor, or for other delay for which the Contractor is not entitled to an extension of the Construction Duration. No extension of the Construction Duration shall be granted on account of any occurrence, event or condition which would or might have caused an Excusable Delay were it not for a prior or superseding delay resulting from the act or omission of the Owner Contractor. No extension of the Construction Duration shall be allowed unless the total float in the latest accepted Baseline CPM Schedule has been exhausted. Any reference in this Paragraph 7.4 to the fault, act or omission of the Contractor shall be deemed to include Subcontractors and Suppliers, employees and others performing any part of its the Contract, and all the foregoing shall, for this purpose, be considered as if they were agents or representatives, or because of the Contractor. 7.4.3 The Contractor shall notify the Airport Authority as soon as possible of any injunction cause that may delay the Work, but in any event the Contractor shall give written notice to the Airport Authority no later than five (5) working days after the time the Contractor knows or should know of any cause which may be brought against will result (or has resulted) in delay for which the Owner and agrees that any such Contractor claims or intends to claim shall be fully compensated for by an extension of time to complete performance the Construction Duration (including those causes which the Airport Authority or the Designer is responsible for or has knowledge of). Such written notice shall (i) state that an extension is claimed; (ii) state in reasonable detail the circumstances which form the basis of the Work delay; and (iii) describe as fully as practicable at the time the date of commencement and duration or expected duration of the delay and its effect on the various portions of the Work. The Contractor shall provide such supporting documentation of its claim as the Airport Authority may require, including a time impact analysis as provided hereinin Subparagraph 7.4.4 below.‌ 7.4.4 The Contractor shall submit to the Airport Authority a written time impact analysis illustrating the impact on the project schedule of each change in the Work or claimed delay. A time impact analysis shall be submitted with each Contractor Change Request or Change Proposal submitted by the Contractor in accordance with the provisions of 0 in which a time extension is requested. Each time impact analysis shall include a fragmentary network demonstrating the time impact to all affected activities in the Baseline CPM Schedule, utilizing the latest accepted Progress Schedule Update.‌ 7.4.5 The submission of a written notice of delay and claim for time extension as provided in Subparagraph 7.4.3 above, within the time period provided in Subparagraph 7.4.3, shall be a condition precedent to any extension of the Construction Duration. No officer, employee or representative of the Airport Authority or the Designer shall have authority to modify or waive, expressly or by implication, such condition precedent, and any action or statement by any such officer, employee or representative to such effect shall not be binding upon the Airport Authority. Since the possible necessity for an extension of the Construction Duration might materially alter the scheduling, plans and other actions of the Airport Authority, and since, with sufficient opportunity, the Airport Authority might (if it knew of the Contractor’s claim) attempt to mitigate the effect of a delay for which an extension of the Construction Duration may be claimed, and since merely oral notice might cause disputes as to the existence or substance thereof and notice long after the event would seriously hinder or prevent the Airport Authority’s investigation of the pertinent facts, the giving of written notice within the time period stated above shall be of the essence of the Contractor’s obligations and failure of the Contractor to comply with these requirements shall be a conclusive waiver of a claim for extension of the Construction Duration. It shall in all cases be presumed that no extension or further extension of the Construction Duration is due unless the Contractor shall affirmatively demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Airport Authority that the conditions and requirements of this Paragraph 7.4 have been satisfied. To this end the Contractor shall maintain adequate records supporting any claim for an extension of the Construction Duration, and in the absence of such records the foregoing presumption shall be deemed conclusive.
