Such a request for time extension <br /> of the Contract Time shall be submitted by the tenth (10th) day of the month following that <br /> month in which the adverse weather is encountered. The request shall include, but is not limited <br /> to, the following information: a) Detailed description of weather's effect on scheduled activities <br /> and its net effect on the critical path of the Project, and b)Weather records from the official <br /> weather station nearest the Project site and records of actual observation as contained in daily <br /> reports, correspondence, or other documentation. <br /> 13.16 The Contractor specifically recognizes that a delay by the Contractor in achieving any <br /> Completion Date can have the effect of delaying the Substantial Completion of the Project, that <br /> such delay in Substantial Completion of the Project will necessarily cause damages, losses, and <br /> expenses to the Owner, including, but not limited to and by way of illustration only, increased <br /> capitalized costs and interests for the Project, increased and extended Project overhead, <br /> Designer's and 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 Contractor agrees to pay to <br /> the Owner, as Liquidated Damages and not as a penalty, the sum identified in the Contract <br /> Documents hereto as the Liquidated Damages per Day, for each day by which the failure to <br /> 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 /> 13.17 The Contractor 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 /> 13.18 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 Contractor(s) to complete the Work within the time specified, <br /> such time being in the essence of this contract and a material consideration thereof. <br /> ARTICLE 14. CHANGES IN THE WORK <br /> 14.1 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 /> Contractor 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 /> be made as provided in Article 14 and/or Article 15. In order to expedite the Work and avoid or <br /> minimize delay in the Work that might affect the Contract Price or Contract Time, the Designer <br /> Revised 12/18 <br />
