Time extensions shall not be allowed for delays to parts of the work that are not on the critical path of the project schedule. Time extensions shall not be granted until all float or contingency 4 Agreement City of Tamarac Purchasing and Contracts Division time, at the time of delay, available to absorb specific delays and associated impacts is used. 8.7 In the event satisfactory adjustment cannot be reached by the City and the Contractor for any item requiring a change in the contract, and a change order has not been issued, the City reserves the right at its sole option to terminate the contract as it applies to these items in question and make such arrangements as the City deems necessary to complete the work. The cost of any work covered by a change order for an increase or decrease in the contract price shall be determined by mutual acceptance of a Guaranteed Maximum Price by the City and Contractor.
