Suspension of construction activity for the number of days each month as listed in <br /> the Standard Baseline shall be included in the Contractor' scheduling of weather-dependent <br /> activities and shall not be eligible for extension of Contract Time. <br /> ' Monthly Contract Allowance(MCA)in days <br /> Y <br /> Month JAN FEB MAR APR MAY JUN JUL AUG SEP OCT NOV DEC <br /> ' Days 8 6 6 1 7 1 5 8 1 7 5 6 3 5 7 <br /> ' 2.
