Contractor to an extension of time. II This section goes on to state that IIno
extension of time will be granted for a delay caused by the inability to
obtain materials unless the Contractor furnishes to the Engineer documentary
proof of the inability to obtain such material in a timely manner. II
On July 18, 1988, we were advised by the contractor, Odell Construction
Company, Inc., that the shipping period for the light units specified for the
project would be approximately nine (9) weeks from the date of order. The
contractor ordered the units on July 19,1988, the date we approved the
submittal list, and their supplier has confirmed the delay period (see
attached letters dated July 18 and August 12, 1988). Odell Construction
Company, Inc. is justified in requesting the time extension. We, therefore,
recommend that the contract be extended to October 28, 1988.

Not applicable.
