W WASTE MANAGEMENT ARTICLE 8 Time 8.1 Progress and Completion 8.1.1 Time limits stated in the Contract Documents are of the essence of the Agreement. By executing the Agreement, Contractor confirms that the Contract Time is a reasonable period for substantially completing the Work. 8.1.2 In computing any period of time prescribed or allowed by the Agreement, the Day of the act, event, or default after which the designated period of time begins to run is not to be included. The last Day of the period so computed is to be included, unless it is a Sunday or Holiday, in which event the period runs until the end of the next Day which is not a Sunday or Holiday. Sundays and Holidays are considered to be calendar days and are to be included in all other time computations relative to the Contract Time. 8.1.3 Contractor shall not, except by agreement or instruction of the Owner's Authorized Representative in writing, knowingly commence operations on the Site or elsewhere prior to the effective date of insurance required by Article 11. The Date of Commencement and the Contract Time shall not be changed by the effective date of such insurance. 8.1.4 Contractor shall proceed expeditiously, and without interruption, with adequate forces and shall achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. 8.1.5 Should progress of the Work fall behind the Construction Schedule, Contractor shall submit a revised Construction Schedule to Owner's Authorized Representative for approval. Unless the Contract Time is extended for reasons stated in Article 8.3.1, Contractor, at its sole cost and expense, shall take actions necessary to restore progress to the revised Construction Schedule and shall work such hours, including extra shifts and lawful overtime operations, as necessary to achieve Substantial Completion within the Contract Time. 8.1.6 Except in connection with safety or protection of persons or Work or property at the Site or adjacent thereto, and except as otherwise indicated in the Contract Documents, all Work at the Site shall be performed Monday through Friday between the hours of 7:00 am and 7:00 pm. Performance of Work between 7:00 pm and 7:00 am, and on Saturdays, Sundays or Holidays, shall not be permitted without consent of the Owner's Authorized Representative given after at least twenty-four(24) hours prior written notice from Contractor. 8.2 Acceleration for Convenience of Owner. 8.2.1 The Owner's Authorized Representative may, by Construction Change Directive, direct Contractor to take such measures as may be necessary to expedite construction to achieve Substantial Completion prior to expiration of the Contract Time or to otherwise accelerate its performance to overcome Force Majeure or Owner caused delay. When the construction time is expedited solely for the convenience of Owner, and not due to Contractor's failure to prosecute timely completion of the Work, then Contractor shall be entitled to an equitable adjustment to the Contract Price in accordance with Article 7 to recover any additional costs of acceleration. 8.2.2 Costs of acceleration shall be limited to the additional labor, equipment and material field costs incurred, plus an agreed percentage for overhead and profit, not to exceed a combined maximum of fifteen percent (15%). Costs of acceleration shall not include any home office costs. 8.2.3 Contractor shall offset additional costs with reduced fixed labor, material and equipment costs resulting from the shorter overall Construction Schedule. 8.2.4 Nothing in this Article shall be construed as an Agreement by Owner to reimburse any acceleration costs unless and until Contractor has received a written directive from Owner that acknowledges Owner will pay such costs. 8.2.5 Owner expressly reserves the right to order Contractor to accelerate the Work, at no cost to Owner, whenever it appears that Contractor will not meet the date specified in the Agreement for 26 Jun-17 Ver.2.0
