A timely and complete Contract Claim is a condition precedent to any <br /> entitlement by the Contractor to an adjustment of Contract Sum or Contract Time. <br /> No Contract Claim shall be allowed unless the Contractor has given Notice. The <br /> Contractor waives any Contract Claim if: (a) Notice was not timely given; (b) the <br /> City's Representative is not afforded reasonable access by the Contractor to <br /> complete records, including, but not limited to, correspondence, job diaries, and <br /> actual cost and additional time incurred; (c) a Contract Claim is not timely filed as <br /> required by the Contract Documents; or(d) adequate, accurate, contemporaneous <br /> and segregated supporting time and expense records are not kept and <br /> maintained. The fact that the Contractor provided proper and timely Notice, <br /> provided a properly filed Contract Claim, or provided the City's Representative <br /> access to records of actual cost, shall not in any way be construed as proving or <br /> substantiating the validity of the Contract Claim. If the City determines the <br /> Contract Claim has merit in whole or in part, the City's Representative will make <br /> an adjustment of Contract Sum or Contract Time required for the Work, or both. If <br /> the City's Representative finds the Contract Claim to be without merit, no <br /> adjustment will be made. <br /> The Contractor shall keep full, complete, accurate and contemporaneous records <br /> of the costs and additional time incurred for any Contract Claim. The Contractor <br /> shall permit the City's Representative to have access to those records and any <br /> other records as may be required by the City's Representative to determine the <br /> facts or contentions involved in the Contract Claim.
