(a) If the contractor is delayed in the completion of the work by any act or neglect of the City, or by any other contractor employed by the City, or by changes ordered in the work, or by strikes, lockouts, fire, unusual delay by common carriers, unavoidable casualties or any cause beyond the contractor’s control, including orders, limitations or restrictions of any governmental agency having jurisdiction over the subject matter of the contract, or by delay authorized by the City, or by any cause which the director shall decide to justify the delay, then, for all such delays and suspensions, the contractor shall be allowed one (1) calendar day extension beyond the time fixed for completion of the work for each and every calendar day of such delay so caused in the completion of the work, the same to be ascertained by the director.
(b) No such extension shall be made for any one (1) or more of such delays unless within ten (10) days after the beginning of such delay a written request for additional time shall be filed with the director. In case of a continuing cause of delay, only one (1) request will be necessary.
(c) No claims for damages or any claim other than for an extension of time as herein provided shall be made or asserted against the City by reason of delays hereinbefore mentioned.
(d) When by reason of any of the causes stated herein an extension of time has been allowed the contractor for the completion of his or her work, he or she shall not be entitled to a bonus for completion prior to the date so extended, anything in the contract documents to the contrary notwithstanding.
