Extension of the Grant Completion Deadline. An extension of the completion date must be requested at least thirty (30) days prior to the end of the Grant Period and may not exceed [INSERT NUMBER OF DAYS] days, unless the Grantee can clearly demonstrate extenuating circumstances. An extenuating circumstance is one that is beyond the control of the Grantee, and one that prevents timely completion of the Project such as a natural disaster, death or serious illness of the individual responsible for the completion of the Project, litigation related to the Project, or failure of the contractor or architect to provide the services for which they were contracted to provide. An extenuating circumstance does not include failure to read or understand the administrative requirements of a grant or failure to raise sufficient matching funds. Changes to the original completion deadline shall be valid only when requested in writing, approved by the Division, and an Amendment to the Agreement has been executed by both parties and attached to the original of this Agreement. The Grantee must provide documentation that a portion of the grant funds and match contributions are encumbered and demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Division that project work is progressing at a rate such that completion is achievable within the extended Grant Period.
