- A. It is the policy of LDOTD that contract completion dates shall not be extended past the original due date. However, while all due diligence should be taken to meet the contract requirements, it is sometimes necessary to extend a contract. Just cause must be documented by the appraiser and a letter of request presented to the LDOTD Appraisal Office with adequate lead time to process the request through the appropriate channels prior to the contract completion date. In the event a completion date is not met and an extension has not been granted, the contract will be considered voided. Payment cannot be made for outstanding appraisals. At the discretion of the Appraisal Office, it may become necessary to contract another appraiser to complete the project assignment.
