8.3.5. Claims for Additional Time. If the Contractor is delayed in progressing any task which at the time of the delay is then critical or which during the delay becomes critical, as the sole result of any act or neglect to act by the City or someone acting in the City's behalf, or by changes ordered in the Work, unusual delay in transportation, unusually adverse weather conditions not reasonably anticipatable, fire or any causes beyond the Contractor's control, then the date for achieving Substantial Completion of the Work shall be extended upon the written notice and claim of the Contractor to the City and the Engineer / Architect for such reasonable time as the Engineer / Architect and the City may determine. Any notice and claim for an extension of time by the Contractor shall be made not more than three (3) days after the occurrence of the event or the first appearance of the condition giving rise to the claim and shall set forth in detail the Contractor's basis for requiring additional time in which to complete the Project. Said claim shall specifically include, among other things, an adjusted critical path (CPM) schedule reflecting precisely the delay and its claimed impact upon the Contractor's future performance. In the event the delay to the Contractor is a continuing one, only one notice and claim for additional time shall be necessary. If the Contractor fails to make such claim as required in this Subparagraph, any claim for an extension of time shall be waived. 8.3.5.1. In no event, and under no circumstances, shall the Contract Price/Sum be increased for, nor shall the Contractor claim, recover, or receive payment for, any cost, expense, damages, or compensation of any kind by reason of any delay to the Project, whether critical or non-critical, and whether caused in whole or in part by the City. The Contractor shall not be entitled to any direct, indirect, consequential, impact, or other costs, expenses, or damages, including but not limited to, costs of acceleration or inefficiency, arising because of delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance from any cause whatsoever, whether such delay, disruption, interference, or hindrance be reasonable or unreasonable, foreseeable or unforeseeable, or avoidable or unavoidable. It is further agreed that such direct costs do include the Contractor's home office overhead, loss of efficiency, consequential damages, or equipment costs in excess of actual equipment rental paid by the Contractor to a third party. The Contractor's sole and exclusive remedy for delay, hindrance, and disruption shall be an extension of the Contract Time provided a claim for same is made and is allowable pursuant to the provisions of Paragraph 8.3.5 hereinabove. 8.4 Field Orders 8.4.1. The Engineer / Architect after first obtaining approval from the City, shall have authority to order minor changes in the Work not involving a change in the Contract Price or in Contract Time and not inconsistent with the intent of the Contract. Such changes shall be affected by Field Order and shall be binding upon the Contractor. The Contractor shall carry out such Field Orders promptly. ARTICLE IX SUBCONTRACTORS 9.1 Definition 9.1.1.
