When contract modifications or changes are initiated, delays are experience, or the DBC desires to revise the project schedule, the DBC shall submit to the Government a written time impact analysis illustrating the influence of each modification, change, delay, or DBC request on the contract time.

Time Extensions:

Activity delays shall not automatically mean that an extension of the contract time is warranted or due the DBC. It is possible that a modification, change, or delay will not affect existing critical 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 time. Time extensions will be granted in accordance with the terms of the contract.

Float: Float is not for the exclusive use or benefit of either the BLM or the DBC. Extension of the contract time will be granted only to the extent the equitable 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.
