Section 43-03-05-04.1 - Project duration

The project must be completed within the time specified in the contract. If the project cannot be completed within the time specified in the contract, the grantee may make a written request to the commission for an extension of up to one year. The request must set forth the specific additional time requested and the reasons why an extension is needed. Upon receipt of the request, the commission shall convey it to the council's executive committee. The executive committee may make use of a technical review committee to analyze the request. The executive committee shall review the request and make a recommendation to the commission. The commission, after reviewing the recommendation, shall decide whether or not to grant the request. Additional extensions may be sought under the same procedure described above, but may only be granted if the grantee proves that factors beyond the grantee's control are the cause of its inability to complete the project on time and that since receiving the first extension the grantee has been diligent in all respects in trying to complete the project on time.
