It is possible that a modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical path activities or cause non- critical activities to become critical. A modification, change, or delay may result in only absorbing a part of the available total float that may exist within an activity chain of the Project Schedule, thereby not causing any effect on the contract completion date. Time extensions will be granted in accordance with the terms of the Contract.

C. Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the Government or the Contractor.

Extension of the contract completion date will be granted only to the extent the net time adjustments to the activity or activities affected by the modification, change, or delay exceeds the total (positive or zero) Float available on a particular activity.

D. Procedure: Each Time Impact Analysis shall be submitted within the time period stated in a Request for Proposal, or the time period designated under the clauses entitled Changes or Default. In cases where the Contractor does not submit a written request for extension of the contract completion date and a Time Impact Analysis within the designated time, it is mutually agreed that the particular modification, change, delay, or Contractor request does not require an extension of the contract completion date. Upon acceptance, the Time Impact Analysis shall be incorporated into the Project Schedule at the next monthly schedule update.

E. Daily Reports: The Contractor’s daily reports may be utilized by the Contracting Officer to determine if additional time is justified.
