1.23 DEFAULT (FIXED-PRICE CONSTRUCTION) (TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY

SEVERE WEATHER)

1. This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extension for usually severe weather in accordance with the contract 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:

a. 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.

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

2. 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

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 of the Contractor’s scheduled workday. 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

DOCUMENT 00 73 00.00 18 Page 5 recorded as full days. If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days anticipated in paragraph 2 above, the Contracting Officer will convert any qualifying delays to calendar days, giving full consideration for equivalent fair weather work days, and issue a modification in accordance with the contract clause entitled “Default (Fixed Price Construction)”.

1.24 FIELD OFFICE

a. At the time of submission of the project schedule, the Contractor shall submit for approval by the Contracting Officer or his authorized representative a breakdown of the contract work which shall be to the degree of detail required by the Contracting Officer or his representative to effect reasonable progress payments. The Contracting Officer or his representative will review this breakdown within 30 calendar days after receipt and either advise the Contractor that it is approved or disapproved, and if disapproved the reasons for disapproval. Only after the breakdown is approved will any payment invoice be accepted from the Contractor. The Contracting Officer can determine it is in the best interest of the Government to make payment without an approved breakdown, however, in no case will more than 10% of the contract amount be paid unless the breakdown is approved.

b. The Contractor shall submit requests for payment through submission of a proper invoice to the office or person(s) designated in subparagraph (c). For purposes of payment a "proper invoice" is defined as the following:

(2) A properly completed ENG Form 93 and 93a (where required).
