CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULE

Weather-Related Delays

If “abnormal weather conditions” as set forth in Paragraph 4.05.C.2 of the General Conditions are the basis for a request for an equitable adjustment in the Contract Times, such request must be documented by data substantiating each of the following: 1) that weather conditions were abnormal for the period of time in which the delay occurred, 2) that such weather conditions could not have been reasonably anticipated, and 3) that such weather conditions had an adverse effect on the Work as scheduled.

The existence of abnormal weather conditions will be determined on a month-by-month basis in accordance with the following:

1. Every workday on which one or more of the following conditions exist will be considered a “bad weather day”:

a. Total precipitation (as rain equivalent) occurring between 7:00 p.m. on the preceding day (regardless of whether such preceding day is a workday) through

7:00 p.m. on the workday in question equals or exceeds [threshold precipitation quantity] of precipitation (as rain equivalent, based on the snow/rain conversion indicated in the table entitled Foreseeable Bad Weather Days; such table is hereby incorporated in this SC-4.05.C by reference.

b. Ambient outdoor air temperature at 11:00 a.m. is equal to or less than the following low temperature threshold: [Bidder Enter Temperature ] degrees Fahrenheit; or, at 3:00 p.m. the ambient outdoor temperature is equal to or greater than the following high temperature threshold: [Bidder Enter

Temperature ] degrees Fahrenheit.

2. Determination of actual bad weather days during performance of the Work will be based on the weather records measured and recorded by National Oceanic and Atmospheric

Administration “NOAA” weather monitoring station at The Dalles Municipal Airport

(KDLS)

a. Contractor has anticipated [Bidder Enter Number of Days ]

Foreseeable Bad Weather Days.

b. Every bad weather day exceeding the number of foreseeable bad weather days established above will be considered as “abnormal weather conditions.” The existence of abnormal weather conditions will not relieve Contractor of the obligation to demonstrate and document that delays caused by abnormal weather are specific to the planned work activities or that such activities thus delayed were on Contractor’s then-current Progress Schedule’s critical path for the Project.

A.

Notwithstanding any provision hereto to the contrary, if Contractor or anyone on its behalf successfully challenges the per-day rate of any liquidated damages, Contractor specifically agrees to pay the Owner all actual damages incurred by the Owner in connection with such breach, including any and all consequential damages (such as loss of profits and revenues, business interruption, loss of opportunity and use) and all costs incurred by the Owner in proving the same, without regard to any limitations whatsoever set forth in the Contract:
