Importance: Normal
Hi,
I think we want to specify Calendar days instead of working days based on section 00180.50 of the WSDOT specs. Also, we need to identify that weekends and holidays are not considered calendar days without approval of the City. The exclusions below don’t identify weekends or holidays.
00180.50 Contract Time to Complete Work:
(a) General - The time allowed to complete the Work or Pay Item is stipulated in the Solicitation
Documents, and will be known as the "Contract Time". (see 00110.20)
(b) Kinds of Contract Time - The Contract Time will be expressed in one or more of the
following ways:
(1) Fixed Date Calculation - The calendar date on which the Work or Pay Item shall be
completed; or
(2) Calendar Day Calculation - The number of Calendar Days from a specified beginning
point in which the Work or Pay Item shall be completed.
(c) Beginning of Contract Time - When the Contract Time is stated in Calendar Days, counting
of Contract Calendar Days will begin with the fifteenth Calendar Day following the date of the
Notice to Proceed.
(d) Recording Contract Time - All Contract Time will be recorded and charged to the nearest
one-half Day.
On Contracts with Calendar Day counts, the Engineer will furnish the Contractor a weekly
statement of Contract Time charges. The statement will show the number of Calendar Days
counted for the preceding week and the number of Calendar Days remaining prior to the
established completion date for that Pay Item.
For Contracts with fixed completion dates for Pay Items, the Engineer will furnish the Contractor a
weekly statement of Contract Time charges only after expiration of the Contract Time. The
statement will show the number of Calendar Days of liquidated damages that have been
assessed, if any.
These statements will include any exclusions from, or adjustments to, Contract Time.
(e) Exclusions from Contract Time - Regardless of the way Contract Time is expressed in the
Contract, certain Calendar Days will not be charged against Contract Time. These exclusions will
be allowed when the Contractor is prevented from performing Work due to one of the following
reasons, resulting in delay:
• Acts of God or Nature;
• Court orders enjoining prosecution of the Work;
• Strikes, labor disputes or freight embargoes that, despite the Contractor's reasonable efforts
to avoid them, cause a shutdown of the entire Project or one or more major operations.
"Strike" and "labor dispute" may include union action against the Contractor, a
Subcontractor, a Materials supplier, or the Agency; or
• Suspension of the Work by written order of the Engineer for reasons other than the
Contractor's failure or neglect.
(f) Time Calculation Protest - In the event the Contractor disputes the accuracy of the
statement of Contract Time charges, it shall immediately contact the Engineer and attempt to
resolve the dispute. If the dispute cannot be resolved informally, the Contractor shall submit a
formal written protest to the Engineer within 7 Calendar Days of the date the Engineer mailed or
delivered the statement. Failure to submit a formal written protest within the 7 Calendar Day
period constitutes the Contractor's approval of the time charges, or adjusted time charges,
itemized in the statement.
