17.3 Force Maieure. Should any party fail to perform its obligations under this Agreement due to a condition of force majeure, as that term is interpreted under Florida Law, and specifically including but not limited to Acts of God (including hurricanes, tropical stoma and/or very strong storms which are anticipated by the Parties and taken into consideration when the CONTRACTOR agreed to the substantial completion date) fire, flood, earthquakes, then the time for performance of said obligation hereunder will be extended by a period reasonable commensurate with the cause of such failure to perform or cure. If the Contractor is delayed in performing any obligation under this agreement due to a force majeure condition, the CONTRACTOR shall request a time extension from the CITY within ten(10) working days of said force majeure occurrence. Any time extension shall be subject to mutual agreement and shall not be cause for any claim by the CONTRACTOR for extra compensation. Events of force majeure do not include acts or omissions of sub- contractors.
