CONTRACTUAL SERVICES Page 5 of 20 B. In the event there are delays caused by the City in approval of any of the materials submitted by the Consultant or if there are delays occasioned by circumstances beyond the control and without fault or negligence of the Consultant which delay the scheduled project completion date, the City may grant an extension of time equal to the aforementioned project schedule delay, as a minimum and not to exceed the Agreement term, by issuance of a Time Extension Letter. This letter shall be for time only and does not include any additional compensation. It shall be the responsibility of the Consultant to ensure at all times that sufficient time remains in the Project Schedule within which to complete the services on the project. In the event there have been delays which would affect the project completion date, the Consultant shall submit a written request to the City which identifies the reason(s) for the delay, the amount of time related to each reason and specific indication as to whether or not the delays were concurrent with one another. The City will review the request and make a determination as to granting all or part of the requested extension. In the event time for performance of the scheduled project services expires and the Consultant has not requested, or if the City has denied an extension of the Project Schedule completion date, partial progress payments will be stopped on the date time expires. No payment shall be made for work performed after the Project Schedule completion date until a time extension is granted or all work has been completed and accepted by the City if the Agreement term has not passed.
