Information Check List: Evaluating Weather Delay EOT Claims

This document provides information for evaluating claims for extensions of time due to inclement weather. It defines what constitutes inclement weather and the requirements for a valid weather delay claim, including that the delay must be outside the contractor's control, impact the critical path of work, and not have been reasonably allowed for in the project schedule. It describes the types of authoritative weather data and construction records needed to support a claim, and notes that the work must be of a type affected by weather conditions. Flow charts and bar diagrams are recommended to show how the weather delay disrupted the planned work schedule.
