(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.

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 FAR 52.249-10, 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. 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.
