C. If the completion of any activity, whether or not critical , falls more than 100 percent behind its approved duration, the Contractor shall submit for approval a schedule adjustment showing each such activity divided into two activities reflecting completed versus uncompleted work. D . Shop drawings which are not approved on the first submittal or within the scheduled time shall be immediately rescheduled , as well as pipelines and tanks which do not pass leak tests . E . The contract completion time will be adjusted only for causes specified in this contract . In the event the Contractor requests an extension of any contract completion date , he shall furnish such justification and supporting evidence as the Engineer may deem necessary for determination as to whether the Contractor is entitled to an extension of time under the provisions of the contract . Engineer will , after receipt of such justification and supporting evidence make findings of fact and will advise the Contractor in writing thereof. If the Engineer finds that the Contractor is entitled to any extension of any contract completion date under the provisions of this contract, the Engineer ' s determination as to the total number of days of extension shall be based upon the currently approved schedule and on all data relevant to the extension. Such data shall be included in the next monthly updating of the schedule . The Contractor acknowledges and agrees that actual delays in activities which, according to the schedule, do not affect any contract completion date shown by the critical path in the schedule do not have any affect on the contract completion date or dates , and therefore, will not be the basis for a change therein . F. From time to time it may be necessary for the contract schedule and/or completion time to be adjusted by the Engineer to reflect the effects of job conditions, weather, technical difficulties, strikes, unavoidable delays on the part of the Owner or his representatives, and other unforeseeable conditions which may indicate schedule adjustments and/or completion time extension. Under such conditions, the Contractor shall reschedule the work and/or contract completion time to reflect the changed conditions and the Contractor shall revise his schedule accordingly. No additional compensation shall be made to the Contractor for such schedule changes except for unavoidable overall contract time extensions beyond the actual completion of all unaffected work in the contract, in which case the Contractor shall take all possible action to muunuze any time extension and any additional cost to the Owner. It is specifically pointed out that the use of available float time in the schedule may be used by the Owner as defined by the Engineer, as well as by the Contractor. Float time is defined as the amount of time between the early start date, and the late start date, or the early finish date and the late finish date, of any of the activities in the schedule. G. The Owner controls the float time in the approved schedule and , therefore, without obligation to extend either the overall completion date or any intermediate completion dates set out in the schedule, the Owner may initiate changes to the contract work that absorb float time only. Owner-initiated changes that affect the critical path on the approved schedule shall be the sole grounds for extending (or contracting) said completion dates . Contractor-initiated changes that encroach on the float time identified in the approved schedule may be accomplished with the Owner' s concurrence. Such changes, however, shall give way to Owner-initiated changes competing for the same float time. 044572017 01311 -4
