SECTION 00 73 15.15

TIME EXTENSIONS FOR UNUSUALLY SEVERE WEATHER (01/09)

1. This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for unusually 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:

2.

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.

c. The delay must occur during the contractual performance period. Weather delays occurring after the required completion date, prior to Notice to Proceed, or during other non-working days are not excusable under the Defaults clause.

3. The following schedule of monthly anticipated adverse weather delays 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

All Other Countries and Locations

8 6 7 6 5 5 5 4 4 6 7 8

Monthly anticipated adverse weather delays shall be adjusted proportionately should the actual work week be based on more or less than 5 work days (i.e. if a 6 day work week, the anticipated adverse weather delay work days for a month would be adjusted by multiplying the number shown above by 6/5).

4. Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract performance period, the contractor will record on the daily CQC report, the occurrence of adverse weather and resultant impact to normally scheduled work. Impacted activities shall be identified by name and activity id on the CQC report.

Actual adverse weather delay days must prevent work on critical activities for 50 percent or more of 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

SECTION 00 73 15.15 Page 2 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)".

5. When the contract performance period, or any extension thereof, has passed, no extensions for unusually severe weather will be granted.

PART 1: GENERAL

1.1 ORGANIZATION AND LAYOUT

The headings in this document and in other documents of this contract are for convenience of reading only and should not be utilized to interpret the contents of the documents.

Any place in the documents of this contract where singular is used, it can also mean plural and vice versa.

1.2 DEFINITIONS

Unless stated otherwise, the term “Contracting Officer” in these documents refers to the Contracting Officer or Administrative Contracting Officer (ACO) (For the purposes of these specifications, the term “ACO” is understood to mean “Ordering Officer” or OO on Job Order Contracts (JOC); ACO’s have no contractual authority on JOC contracts.

1.5 PERMITS AND RESPONSIBILITIES

The contractor shall, without additional expense to the Government, be responsible for obtaining any necessary licenses and permits, and for complying with any applicable laws, codes, and regulations in connection with the prosecution of the work.

OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS

All communication by the Contractor with all officials, representatives and/or offices of the Host Government in all matters pertaining to the design or construction of this contract, shall be through and in full liaison with the Contracting Officer. This does not relinquish Contractor responsibility for obtaining routine items to conduct day-to-day business, such as visas, permits, and custom clearances.

The contractor is further reminded that only the Contracting Officer or their authorized representative may give the contractor direction in regards to contract interpretation. ONLY a Contracting Officer or Administrative Contracting Officer may modify the contract terms or conditions.

1.7 IMMUNITY FROM LEGAL PROCESS

The contractor agrees to indemnify and save harmless the United States Government against all claims and suits of whatsoever nature arising under or incidental to performance of this contract by any subcontractor against the United States Government.

The Contractor agrees to insert the substance of above paragraph "Prohibition" in each subcontract and purchase order generated for this contract.

1.11 REFERENCED STANDARDS

Unless specifically called out in the specifications, Host Nation Standards shall be used for this contract. Where reference is made in the contract to Host Nation Standards, including, but not limited to those issued by the Deutsches Institut für Normung e.V. (DIN; in English, the German Institute for Standardization) and The European Committee for Standardization or Comité Européen de Normalisation (CEN) (EN Standards), including where such standards are incorporated into the contract in full text or by reference, the reference /incorporation applies only to establish a technical standard or level of performance or quality and does not create substantive rights under the contract.

All costs required to comply with these standards shall be included in the bid price, including the performance of any additional work, such as “associated” and “special” tasks. Notwithstanding any language in any standard, the requirement to provide any necessary material, item of equipment or work, rests with the contractor unless another contract provision clearly states that such will be government furnished.

When standards referenced in a specification are in conflict with each other (such as when a US Standard conflicts with a European or Host Nation standard within the same specification section), Host Nation Standard shall govern unless otherwise specified within the contract documents. A conflict does not exist when standards require separate methods or performance and both are achievable. In these situations, the contractor shall comply with both standards. This does not apply to documents with a different Order of Precedence (for example, a standard referenced in a Contract clause would have a higher order of precedence than one referenced in a specification).

The Contractor shall make available in his site office any standard referenced in the contract specifications or used in the project design and construction.

1.12 PROHIBITED ITEMS

The following is prohibited in this construction project:

a. Use of aluminum for electrical conductors.

Notwithstanding any other contractual requirements, the Site Safety and Health Officer, all Quality Control Personnel, the Site Superintendent, and Project Manager shall be able to communicate to site workers and other subordinates in their native language(s) and take direction from the Contracting Officer or Contracting Officers Representative through the designated English Language Speaking Representative.

1.16 NO WAIVER BY GOVERNMENT

The failure of the Government, in any one or more instances, to insist upon the strict performance of any of the terms of this contract or to exercise any option herein conferred shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of the right to assert or rely upon such terms or option on any future occasion.

1.17 CONTRACTOR LIAISON WITH HOST GOVERNMENT

All communication by the Contractor with all officials, representatives and/or offices of the Host Government in all matters pertaining to the design or construction of this contract, shall be through and in full liaison with the Contracting Officer.
