00800-6 TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER

a. This provision specifies the procedure for the determination of time extensions for unusually severe weather in accordance with the clause entitled "Default (Fixed-Price Construction)". In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, the following conditions must be satisfied.

(1) The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must be found to be unusually severe; that is, more severe than the adverse weather anticipated for the project location during any given month.

(2) The unusually severe weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project. This delay must be beyond the control and without the fault or negligence of the Contractor.

b. The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays is based on National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) or similar data for the project location and will constitute the base line for monthly weather time evaluations. The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these anticipated adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities.

MONTHLY ANTICIPATED ADVERSE WEATHER DELAY

WORK DAYS BASED ON (5) DAY WORK WEEK

JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC

12 9 7 6 6 5 5 5 4 4 6 10

c. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract, the Contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more on the Contractor's scheduled work day. The number of actual adverse weather delay days shall include days impacted by actual adverse weather (even if adverse weather occurred in previous month), be calculated chronologically from the first to the last day of each month, and be recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph b. above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to work days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the clause entitled, "Default (Fixed-Price Construction)".

d. The anticipated adverse weather work days listed above are based on days with precipitation greater than 0.1 inch and/or maximum temperature below 32 degrees F. The numbers shown represent the number of work days (not calendar days) normally expected to have these particular weather conditions based on historical data obtained from the "Climatography of the United States No. 20". The actual number of days will vary. This information is furnished for computation of possible time extensions due to weather delays and is not intended to imply that no work can be done on these days. The Contractor shall make his own determination of the effect of these conditions on his operations under this contract, and schedule his work accordingly.

00800-7 WORK PERFORMED BY CONTRACTOR

Within ten (10) days after award of the contract, the successful bidder will be required to furnish a description of the work which he intends to perform with his own organization, the percentage of the total work this represents, and the estimated cost thereof.
