What must the Contractor do if delays are solely caused by them?

The requirement for the Contractor to assign additional qualified personnel to prevent slippage in project completion is the most proactive approach to addressing delays. When a contractor causes delays, taking responsibility and mitigating the impact is crucial. By assigning more qualified personnel, the contractor is ensuring that the project continues to move forward effectively and that any setbacks are minimized. This action demonstrates accountability and a commitment to fulfilling the project obligations within the timeline.

Notifying the City of the delays without taking action lacks initiative and does not contribute to resolving the issue. Waiting for the City to provide additional resources improperly shifts responsibility to the City and could exacerbate delays rather than address them. Submitting a request for an extension, while an option, does not actively contribute to maintaining the project schedule. Instead, by proactively addressing the delays with additional personnel, the contractor is more likely to keep the project on track and meet established deadlines.
