The Architect shall prepare and circulate minutes of such meetings. 4.3 INITIAL NOTICES AND CLAIMS 4.3.1 All claims for additional costs and/or time (regardless of how described) must be made in accordance with the requirements of this Article or they will be waived. 4.3.2 An "Initial Notice" is the mechanism the Contractor must use to provide the Owner with initial notice of events that have or may result in a Claim. At a minimum, initial Notices must be in writing and describe the event, identify persons with knowledge of the event, qualitatively describe the likely or potential impacts of the event, and identify provisions of the Contract Documents that are implicated by the event. 4.3.3 A "Claim" is a substantiated demand or assertion by the Contractor seeking, as a matter of right, adjustment or interpretation of Contract terms, payment of money, extension of time or other relief with respect to the terms of the Contract. The term "Claim" also includes other disputes and matters in question between the Owner and Contractor arising out of or relating to the Contract. Claims do not include written notices that are not substantiated in accordance with Subparagraph 4.3.4. 4.3.4 Claims must be made in writing and substantiated by detailed information. The responsibility to substantiate Claims rests solely with the Contractor. The substantiation of a Claim shall include, at a minimum, the following: .1 A written narrative explaining the factual basis of the claim and the bases for the claim under the Contract Documents; .2 A written and/or graphic explanation of how the alleged acts or failure to act by the Owner under the Contract directly caused the damages or delay complained of; .3 Full documentation of the additional costs or damages allegedly resulting in such detail as may be requested by the Owner, including original bid and budget records; .4 Schedule analyses which demonstrate that the alleged acts or failure to act caused delays to the critical path activities of the Contractor; and .5 Such other job records, reports, documents, calculations and bid or estimate information as the Owner may reasonably require to evaluate the Claim. In the event the Contractor believes that a change in the Work that is the responsibility of the Owner has caused, or may cause, an increase in the Contractor's costs in the form of labor and equipment inefficiencies or lost productivity, such alleged costs must be specifically identified in the Claim. In addition, the Contractor must establish that the alleged cost increases result directly from such change and must demonstrate the impact by utilizing comparisons of the Work performed during the impacted period with Work performed during a non -impacted period or on a closely similar but different part of the Work if such comparisons are reasonably available or feasible. mcg-ARC 2120.000 February 28, 2023
