43 <br /> 31 <br /> November 8 <br /> December 9 <br /> 12.15 If the Design-Builder believes that the progress of the Work has been adversely affected <br /> by adverse weather recognized by the Owner's Authorized Representative during a particular <br /> month, the Design-Builder shall submit a written request for extension of time to the Owner's <br /> Authorized Representative. Such a request for time extension of the Contract Time shall be <br /> submitted by the tenth (10th) day of the month following that month in which the adverse <br /> weather is encountered. The request shall include, but is not limited to, the following <br /> information: a) Detailed description of weather's effect on scheduled activities and its net effect <br /> on the critical path of the Project, and b)Weather records from the official weather station <br /> nearest the Project site and records of actual observation as contained in daily reports, <br /> correspondence, or other documentation. Failure of the Design-Builder to submit a timely claim <br /> for extension of time shall constitute a waiver of said claim in its entirety. <br /> 12.16 The Design-Builder specifically recognizes that a delay by the Design-Builder in achieving <br /> any Completion Date can have the effect of delaying the Substantial Completion of the Project, <br /> that such delay in Substantial Completion of the Project will necessarily cause damages, losses, <br /> and expenses to the Owner, including, but not limited to and by way of illustration only, <br /> increased capitalized costs and interests for the Project, increased and extended Project <br /> overhead, increased Consultant's fees, increased costs of construction, increased and extended <br /> operation costs of other facilities, and inefficiency and loss of productivity, and that such <br /> damages, losses, and expenses may not be readily identifiable or ascertainable at the time they <br /> are incurred or at any time. Therefore, and in recognition of these factors and the likelihood that <br /> actual damages from his delay will not be readily ascertainable, the Design-Builder agrees to <br /> pay to the Owner, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty, the sum identified in the <br /> Contract Documents hereto as the Liquidated Damages per Day, for each day by which the <br /> failure to meet any Completion Date shown in the Contract Construction Schedule, adjusted in <br /> accordance with this Article, delays the Substantial Completion of the Project. <br /> 12.17 The Design-Builder shall not be entitled to any adjustment in the Contract Price or other <br /> compensation from the Owner for any delay in the completion of or progress on the Work that is <br /> caused by a force majeure condition or is otherwise not caused by the sole and direct act or <br /> omission of the Owner and the Owner's employees or agents. <br /> 12.18 The sum for Liquidated Damages is the amount stated in the Contract Documents as <br /> Liquidated Damages reasonably estimated in advance to cover the losses to be incurred by the <br /> Owner by reason of failure of said Design-Builder(s) to complete the Work within the time <br /> specified, such time being in the essence of this contract and a material consideration thereof. <br /> ARTICLE 13. CHANGES IN THE WORK <br /> 13.1 Without invalidating the Contract Documents, the Owner may, at any time, or from time to <br /> time order additions, deletions, or revisions in the Work. Said additions, deletions, or revisions <br /> shall be authorized only by written Change Orders, Construction Change Directives or Field <br /> Orders. Upon receipt of a Change Order, Construction Change Directive, or Field Order, the <br /> Design-Builder shall proceed with the Work involved. All such Work shall be executed under the <br /> applicable conditions of the Contract Documents. If any change causes an increase or decrease <br /> in the Contract Price and/or an extension or shortening of the Contract Time, adjustments shall <br /> Revised 2/17 <br />
