Topic #: 1

When developing schedule specifications, which of the following practices should the CM recommend to the Owner to avoid disputes regarding weatherdelays per year?

A. Using a recognized reference such as NOAA. define the number of allowable "normal" weather impact days expected to occur on the project within the contract documents. B. Ask the contractor to specify the number of weather days they believe necessary for the project. C. Defer all issues related to weather to NOAA. D. Consult a local meteorologist to determine the best estimate of the number of weather days to allow on the project.

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

TheCMAA Standards of Practice (Chapter 4 - Time Management)specifies that project schedule specifications should clearly defineexpected normal weather delaysbased on reliable climatological data to avoid disputes. The SOP states:
"The CM should recommend use of established meteorological data sources, such as NOAA, to define the number of normal adverse weather days anticipated in the schedule specification." This ensures consistency, fairness, and transparency in contract administration. Allowing the contractor to determine weather allowances (Option B) or deferring all responsibility to external sources (Options C and D) introduces ambiguity and potential disputes.
