SECTION 00 74 01

TIME EXTENSIONS FOR ADVERSE WEATHER (NAU)

03/18

PART 1 GENERAL

1.1 DETERMINATION OF ADVERSE WEATHER

This provision specifies the procedure for determination of time extensions for adverse weather in accordance with the contract clause 52.249-10 "Default: (Fixed Price Construction)". In order for the Contracting Officer to award a time extension under this clause, all of the following conditions must be satisfied:

a. The weather experienced at the project site during the contract period must exceed the baseline weather identified below during any given month.

b. The weather must actually cause a delay to the completion of the project or any specified contractual milestone. 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.

1.2 BASELINE ADVERSE WEATHER DAYS

1.2.1 Baseline Weather Delay Days

The following schedule of monthly adverse weather delays will constitute the baseline for monthly weather time evaluations.

1.2.2 Adjustment for Other Than 5 Day Work Week

Monthly baseline adverse weather delays shall be adjusted proportionately

DOCUMENT 00 74 01 Page 2 when the actual work week be based on more or less than 5 work days (i.e.

if a 6 day work week, the baseline adverse weather delay work days for a month would be adjusted by multiplying the number shown above by 6/5). Any fractional amount will be rounded to the nearest whole number (e.g. 4.1 will round to 4 and 4.6 will round to 5).

1.2.3 Incorporation in Project Schedule

The Contractor's progress schedule must reflect these baseline adverse weather delays in all weather dependent activities. Refer to Section 01 32 01PROJECT SCHEDULE (NAU) or Section 01 32 16 SMALL PROJECT PROJECT SCHEDULES (NAU) for the procedures for incorporating the baseline adverse weather days into the schedule.

1.3 WEATHER CONDITIONS AT THE PROJECT SITE(S)

The Baseline Adverse Weather Delay Work Days identified above are an administrative baseline only and do not represent the actual weather conditions to be expected at the site. No inference or conclusion shall be made regarding the actual weather conditions or the actual amount of weather delays to be anticipated based on this baseline.

The Contractor shall, prior to submitting a proposal or offer, be solely responsible for determining the actual weather conditions prevalent at the project site or sites and accounting for this information in their proposal or offer.

PART 3 EXECUTION

3.1 REPORTING

Upon acknowledgment of the Notice to Proceed (NTP) and continuing throughout the contract performance period, the contractor will record on the 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.

When the use of RMS-CM (Section 01 45 01 RESIDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM - CONTRACTOR MODE) is required by the contract, adverse weather days shall be reported on the QC Report in RMS-CM and tracked therein.

3.2 OCCURRENCE OF ACTUAL DELAY

To be considered a day of actual weather delay, progress on critical path activities must be less than 50 percent of the progress scheduled to occur on that day, and the progress must be impacted due solely to the adverse weather.

3.3 CALCULATION OF ACTUAL DELAY AND CONVERSION TO CALENDAR DAYS

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. Any fractional amount will be rounded to the next whole number (e.g. 4.1 will round to 5).

DOCUMENT 00 74 01 Page 3

This calculation is performed automatically within RMS-CM under the "Weather Delays" screens of the QA/QC Module, and shall serve as the basis for the calculation when RMS-CM is required by contract.

3.4 ISSUANCE OF MODIFICATION

If the number of actual adverse weather delay days exceeds the number of days identified in paragraph 1.2, 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 52.249-10 entitled "Default (Fixed Price Construction)".

Modifications will normally be issued no more than quarterly (once every three months) when actual weather delays exceed the baseline and will identify, by month, the applicable time extension. When the actual weather delays do not exceed the baseline for all months in a quarter, no modification will be issued but will be included in the next quarterly weather modification.

3.5 DELAYS BEYOND REQUIRED COMPLETION DATE

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