Contract Question

I bid and received a contract for an apartment with a scope of work being roofing, gutters, and siding with a tentative roofing install date of September. The GC over excavated and pushed the project back minimum 3 months. Now the roofing install date is mid December. I live in ND and we have severe winters and normally do not take on any winter work due to the problems associated with a cold install. I recently notified the GC that I want to cancel my contract due to I did not bid for a winter install and that my scope of work should be re-bid. I have not heard back from the GC any thoughts on this? Has anybody come across this before?

B-rrr. I agree with you, but if you don't push it and start it, you just bought it. Did you talk to the GC or just email him/her? Get on the phone and discuss it, then notify them by certified mail.

Or send a notorized, certified copy of a list of things you will not do unless the weather is "...", then if it doesn't get roofed until April, it's not your problem.

All of my contracts say snow removal is excluded.

When I have GC's wanting single ply installed sub freezing I simply send the TDB/PDB stating 40 and rising.

If the siding is vinyl, good luck with that. It'll shatter often sub freezing.

Rather than cancel, Mike H has a good idea regarding the letter. Not sure it needs to be notarized, but can't hurt. Certified is a good idea though.
