RFI #: 10

Information Requested: How will rain delays be governed and added to the end completion of the project?

Response: Without being ‘Unusually severe weather’, rain delays are not simply “added” to the completion date, or at the back end of the project. Heavy rain, lots of rain, even flooding … does not typically constitute ‘unusually severe weather’. See FAR Clause 52.249‐10.

With that said, if the project is shut down, due to project requirements, (Example: specifications don’t allow for asphalt paving under a specific temperature) the government does not intend to be unrealistic, and continue with the original schedule. The contractor and the Government will come to an agreement on an updated project schedule. The awardee will then be held to the new schedule. At no time, will the contractor perform work, without a schedule. Your typical ‘heavy rain’ will not ‘add’ days to your scheduled / contractual completion date.
