00800 - 11/13 2. Whenever a change involves CONTRACTOR and one or more Subcontractors and the change is an increase in the Contract Price, overhead and profit percentage for CONTRACTOR and each Subcontractor shall be itemized separately. I. Each Change Order must state within the body of the Change Order whether it is based upon unit price, negotiated lump sum, or "cost of the work." SGC-10.6 NOTIFICATION AND CLAIM FOR CHANGE OF CONTRACT TIME OR CONTRACT PRICE: A. Any claim for a change in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be made by written notice by CONTRACTOR to the Contract Administrator and to ENGINEER within five (5) calendar days of the commencement of the event giving rise to the claim and stating the general nature and cause of the claim. Thereafter, within twenty (20) calendar days of the termination of the event giving rise to the claim, written notice of the extent of the claim with supporting information and documentation shall be provided unless ENGINEER allows an additional period of time to ascertain more accurate data in support of the claim and such notice shall be accompanied by CONTRACTOR's written notarized statement that the adjustment claimed is the entire adjustment to which the CONTRACTOR has reason to believe it is entitled as a result of the occurrence of said event. All claims for changes in the Contract Time or Contract Price shall be determined by ENGINEER in accordance with Paragraph 9.8 of the General Conditions hereof, if OWNER and CONTRACTOR cannot otherwise agree.

Such delays shall include, but not be limited to, acts or neglect by any separate contractor employed by OWNER, fires, floods, labor disputes, epidemics, abnormal weather conditions or acts of God. SGC-12.2 INCLEMENT WEATHER DELAYS The CONTRACTOR's construction schedule shall be based upon the inclusion of ten days of inclement weather delays. Inclement weather by itself is not a cause for time extension. Only where duration and frequency of rain is abnormal as compared with the Weather Bureau data and supported by project logs will time extensions be considered. No time extension will be allowed for weekend rains unless the contractor has received approval and been working weekends on a regular basis. In order to demonstrate that a delay is the result of exceptionally adverse weather conditions, the contractor must demonstrate that critical path activities have been delayed by more days than those cumulatively expected during the Contract Time, based upon an average number of days of adverse weather conditions experienced in the place where the Project is located during the five (5) years prior to the date of this Agreement, which average shall be based upon the historical data of the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, and that any float time in the Construction Schedule has been exceeded. In order to be considered a day of delay, the contractor must demonstrate that critical path activities were suspended during the
