ARTICLE 22. Change of Contract Time 22.1 The Contract Time may only be changed by a Change Order. If the Contractor is entitled by the Contract Documents to make a claim for an extension in the Contract Time, the claim shall be in writing delivered to the Engineer within five (5) calendar days after expiration of any such delay of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the claim. All valid claims for adjustment in the Contract Time shall be determined by the Engineer. Any change in the Contract Time resulting from any such claim shall be incorporated into a Change Order. 222 The Contract Time will be extended in an amount equal to time lost due to delays beyond the control of the Contractor, if he makes a claim therefrom as provided in this Agreement.
