Contractor's request for payment. Failure to furnish this update may be grounds for withholding payment until the update is furnished.

3. Each principal sub-contractor will submit monthly request for payment to the General Contractor and copies of these requests for payment will be furnished with the CPM and the Contractor's Request for Payment.

Should any principal sub-contractor fail to furnish this request for payment, it may be grounds for withholding payment until such items are furnished.

4. Should construction fall behind schedule over 30 days as revealed by the

CPM, the Engineer will then require the General Contractor to provide overtime or additional shifts as is required to provide additional crews or additional overtime may be cause for withholding payment until such time as the Contractor adequately mans the project.

1-10 DELAYS, EXTENSION OF TIME, AND LIQUIDATED DAMAGES

On acceptance of building by the Owner, and issuance of a Certificate of Substantial Completion by the Engineer, the Time Clause of this contract shall terminate.

B. If the said Contractor shall neglect, fail or refuse to complete the work within the time herein specified, then the Contractor does hereby agree as a part of the consideration for the awarding of this Contract to pay the Owner the amount specified herein as a penalty in lieu of liquidated damages for such breach of contract as hereinafter set forth for each and every calendar day that the Contract shall be in default after the time allotted herein for completing the work.

C. It is further agreed that time is of the essence of each and every portion of the

Contract and of the specifications wherein a definite and certain length of time is fixed for the performance of any act whatsoever, but where hereunder an additional time is allowed by the Engineer for the completion of any work, the new time limit fixed by such extension shall not be charged with liquidated damages.

01 10 00-5

D. If the Contractor is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by an act or neglect of the Owner, by the Engineer, or of any employee or either, then the time of completion shall be extended for such reasonable time as the Engineer at the Owner's direction may decide.

E. All work of this Contract· shall be substantially completed and ready for Owners occupancy in calendar days based on commencement date stipulated in Notice to Proceed.

$500/day.

F. It is mutually agreed between the Contractor, Owner and Engineer that if the

Contractor cannot obtain pieces of equipment, materials or sub-contracts because of a strike of the manufacturer, railroads, transportation, or of the sub-contractor, then the General Contractor may request that the Engineer accept a substitution to the Owner. If the Owner elects not to accept the substitution, the time of completion may be extended until such time as the material becomes available or supplier or sub-contractor can properly man the project. If the

Owner elects to accept the substitution of materials, or subcontractors, then the

Contractor will proceed with the allowed substitution without extension. If the

Owner elects not to accept the substitution of materials or subcontractor and directs the Contractor to complete the building without these facilities, the

General Contractor will proceed with the building and complete same without the above-mentioned material supplier or sub- contractor without extension of completion time.
