3 Construction Claims A construction problem becomes a claim when someone asks for money. 3
4 Before Problems Arise Know the Contract The Contract states how the Owner expects the Project will be executed and the desired results. The Contract should dictate each stakeholder s responsibilities. The Contract states how the Contractor will be compensated. 4
5 Contract Document Pitfalls Ambiguities Conflicting Information Omissions 5
6 Interpretation of Contract Documents Order of precedence as defined in contract Detailed Specifications over Drawings Drawings over Standard Specifications In general more detailed will apply Details over Standard Drawings Calculated Dimensions over Scaled Dimensions Many courts look to equitable considerations rather than technicalities of the contract language 6
7 Contract Schedule Specification What are the Project Milestones Liquidated Damages Early Completion Schedule Requirements Schedule Program Level of Detail Types of Relationships Who owns Project float? No Damages for Delay clause Recovery schedule requirements How to request time extension 7
8 Baseline Schedule This is the Contractor s plan to construct the Project based on the bid documents Realistic logic and durations to meet all Milestones Anticipate reasonable weather impacts Include Non-work periods for seasonal work Long Lead Items Buy-in from subcontractors 8
9 Baseline Schedule (Cont.) Baseline Schedule Critical Path Review near critical paths What if the Baseline is not approved? 9
10 Schedule Updates Status the Project periodically Revise logic and durations to reflect changes in the field and Contractor s plan Update submittals and utility information Track RFIs and Potential Change Items Submit schedules to Owner for approval 10
11 Notice When Problems Arise Follow Contract requirements Miss a notification deadline; a claim can be denied Document the Issue Add an activity for the Issue into the schedule with appropriate durations and logic and assess how it impacts the schedule. 11
12 Construction Claims Changes in Scope (Disputed Changes) Delay Disruption 1
13 Changes in Scope Directed Changes Constructive Changes 13
14 Delay v. Disruption Delay Disputes over time of performance Disruption Disputes over labor productivity 14
15 Categories of Schedule Delay Excusable Delay Delay that excuses late performance. Compensable Contractor reimbursed for time-related costs. Non-compensable Contractor is precluded from reimbursement for timerelated costs. Non-Excusable Delay Delay within the control of the Contractor. 15
16 Concurrent Delay Two or more delays occurring in the same time frame on separate critical paths with both affecting the overall completion of the project. If one of the delays is due to the Owner a concurrent delay is excusable Concurrent delays prevent either party from recovering damages. 16
17 Other Delay Force Majeure Acts of God (Hurricane, Labor Strike, Etc.) Excusable Not Compensable 17
18 Project Example Project: Construction of multi-span highway bridge Value: $5 Million Contract Duration: 16 months Liquidated Damages: $10,000 per day 18

20 Assessing Delay Establish as-planned schedule Reflect planning changes and as-built history Evaluate delays against a schedule reflecting status of the project at the time the delay occurred Analysis must be thoroughly grounded in the project records Loss of Float vs. Critical Path Delay 0

25 Acceleration Expediting progress of the work Directed Acceleration Owner directs contractor to accelerate work. Constructive Acceleration Contractor s response to an action by the Owner that can be construed as a demand to overcome the effect of previous excusable delays. Contractor must provide notification Owner will pay for premium time and inefficiencies 5
26 Recovery Schedules Contract may have triggers for Contractor to implement actions to meet contract milestone. Delayed Milestones are due to Contractor performance. Contractor is required to use additional resources, work longer and revise schedule. Not paid by Owner 6
