Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA)
In this and next week’s issues, we catch up to the January and February Board decisions which were just recently released on the Board’s website. Several of these cases involve high profile contractors, attorneys and/or expert consultants. Included are rulings on contract interpretations, unbalanced bids, finality of change order releases and an issue involving the privilege status of inadvertently released documents (not necessarily in that order).
Board cases are relevant as federal contract law has evolved over the years and often influences state and local law. The Board judges are very familiar with construction terminology, accounting practices and even critical path method (CPM) scheduling, which makes for high judicial standards and meaningful decisions.

Tips and Techniques
Reservation of rights is a key issue in the Perini case covered in this issue, and is discussed briefly in this week’s Tips and Techniques section.
