Common use of Submission of Claim Clause in Contracts

Submission of Claim. A Claim arises upon the District’s rejection of a request by the Contractor for a change order. The Contractor shall submit the Claim by registered mail or certified mail with return receipt requested to the District’s Director of construction and Modernization, with a copy to the Project Manager/Construction Manager. The Contractor shall submit its Claim in writing, together with all Supporting Documentation no later than the earlier of either: (1) thirty (30) days after the date the Claim arises; or (2) sixty (60) days after the date of completion. It is the intent of the District to evaluate and resolve Claims with the Contractor as close to the events giving rise to such Claims as possible and to avoid stale or late Claims, including late notice and documenting of Claims, and to timely mitigate the issue, event, condition, circumstance and/or cause of the Claim and any adverse impacts or damages related thereto.
