CONTRACT MODIFICATION RELEASES DEFEAT PERINI’S $8.4 MILLION DELAY CLAIM; BOARD TOSSES CPM ANALYSIS IN REDUCING LIQUIDATED DAMAGES
publication date: Feb 22, 2004
This case involves two appeals on an Embassy contract in Venezuela for the Department of State. The first is Perini’s appeal of the denied delay claim for $8,335,913 and 517 calendar days contract time extension.
