Heading: Has the Contractual One Year Period of Limitations been Waived by BSL?

Text: 39 The delivery dates of the system were adjusted several times after the contract was negotiated. Initially the system was to be delivered and accepted by July 18, 1974. This was revised to provide for acceptance by January, 1976. The revision of target dates is pointed to by the County as evidence that dates were of no great significance under the contract. These delays in the performance of the contract do not, however, establish a waiver of the one-year period of limitations as the County argues. 40 The County cancelled the contract in June, 1975. 13 It did not initiate this action until May, 1977. 14 The County does not argue that any actions of BSL after the cancellation of the contract manifest a waiver of the one-year period of limitations. Once, the contract was cancelled the one-year period of limitations began to run. Any activities modifying the dates of performance of the contract prior to the cancellation of the contract are irrelevant to that period of limitations. Waiver by BSL of the one-year period of limitations has not been established. 41
