6. Mitigate Cost and Time Overruns - The contractor organization takes the initiative and works diligently to avoid cost or time increases and to mitigate the effects of changed conditions whenever they do occur. Requests for additional money or time are well documented (complete and accurate), fair and submitted timely.
Contractor Notification Method: Contractor notified via verbal warning, deficiency warning letter, or Deficiency letter. Contractor can appeal to the District Construction Engineer Deficiency Letters within 10 days of receipt.
Guidance provided:
1. Question: Can or Should a Deficiency letter be issued under section #6 if the contractor is behind schedule? Category 6 would also seem to apply since he is not working diligently to avoid time increases (isn't a time overrun an increase?) Based on my interpretation, category 6 applies to both the original contract work and any changed conditions or added work.
Answer: The affects of being behind schedule will be taken care of in Category 1 and Category 4. Also, Category 6 is established to record how a contractor reacts to contract changes and manages those. Unless there were time/money changes to this contract that could be attributed to the current status of this project, then Category 6 would not be affected.
