schedule. The County may also grant an extension of Contract Time when a critical path item of work is delayed by factors not reasonably anticipated or foreseeable at the time of bid or if failure of the County to fulfill an obligation under the contract results in delays to the schedule critical path. The County may consider the delays in delivery of materials or equipment that affect progress on a critical item of work as the basis for granting a time extension if such delays are beyond the control of the Contractor. Requests for time extensions due to delay in the delivery of custom manufactured equipment or fixtures will not be considered unless the contractor furnishes documentation that the order was placed in a timely manner and the lack of such equipment cased a delay in progress on a critical item. Extensions of Contract Time will not be granted for delays due to the fault or negligence of the Contractor. No allowance for inclement weather should be made in establishing the Contract Time. The County may grant time extensions on a day for day basis for delays caused only by inclement weather conditions that prevent the contractor from productively performing critical path items where: (i) the contractor is unable to work at least 50% of the day on a pre-determined critical path item due to the weather; or (ii) the contractor must make major repairs to work damaged by weather provided that the damage is not due to the contractor's failure to perform and that the contractor is unable to work at least 50%of the day on pre-determined critical path items. 24. LIQUIDATED DAMAGES Applicable liquidated damages will be assessed in the following amount: $758.00 per day 25.

This notice must be given before the contractor begins any work on which the claim is based.

The contractor's notice of intent to file a claim should contain: (1) A statement as to what changed, including a description of the nature and extent of the change. (2) An indication of who directed or what caused the change. (3) A description of how the change has or will impact the contractor, including reference to any impacted critical activities on the contractor's latest accepted schedule update.
