Extension of Substantial or Final Completion Date Sample Clauses
The Extension of Substantial or Final Completion Date clause allows for the adjustment of the project's completion deadlines under certain circumstances. Typically, this clause outlines the conditions under which a contractor may request additional time, such as delays caused by unforeseen events, changes in project scope, or factors beyond the contractor's control. By providing a formal mechanism for extending deadlines, the clause helps prevent disputes over delays and ensures that both parties have a clear process for addressing schedule impacts.

No extensions to the Substantial Completion Date shall be granted due to the negligence or fault of the Contractor or its subcontractors, non-availability of materials or non-availability of labor. No extension to the Substantial Completion Date shall be granted for the period of time during a delay in the performance of the Work which is caused in part by the Owner, the Engineer, and in part by the Contractor or one for whom the Contractor is responsible (“Concurrent Delay”).

The Owner shall render a written decision, which shall be made in good faith, granting, or refusing the request of the Contractor for an extension within a reasonable time after receipt of the request for a time extension. If a Contract Amendment is agreed to by the Contractor and Owner, any extension of the Substantial Completion Date caused by the Contract Amendment work must be stated in the Contract Amendment and the Contractor will be barred from later seeking an extension to the Substantial Completion Date or Final Completion Date because of the Contract Amendment work.
