Common use of Concurrency Clause in Contracts

Concurrency. The Architect and the CM/GC may make claims for an extension of the Contract Time, for an Excusable Delay or a Compensable Delay subject to the following: 20.11.1 if an Excusable Delay and a Compensable Delay occur concurrently, the delay shall be treated as a Compensable Delay and the maximum extension of the Contract Time shall be the number of days from the commencement of the first delay to the cessation of the delay which ends last; or 20.11.2 if an Inexcusable Delay occurs concurrently with either an Excusable Delay and/or a Compensable Delay there shall be an extension of the Contract Time only for the period the delays are concurrent but there shall not be an adjustment in the Allowable Cost, the Expected Cost, the Target Cost or the EMP. In the event of concurrent delay, the limitation of this Section shall only apply during the concurrent period; once the concurrent delay ends, Section 20.8, 20.9 or 20.10, as applicable, shall apply. Delays in the prosecution of parts or classes of the Work which do not prevent or delay Substantial or Final Completion of the whole Work within the Contract Time are not to be considered Excusable or Compensable.
