On appeal, the government presented expert testimony establishing that the contractor was only entitled to 25 days of delay damages or approximately $69,000. &nbsp;Inexplicably, the contractor did not present any expert testimony and relied solely on the opinion of the owner of the company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rejecting the contractor\u2019s claim on appeal, the Board reasoned:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>[T]o prevail on its claims for additional costs allegedly incurred because of the late completion of a fixed-price government construction contract, the contractor must show that the government\u2019s actions affected activities on the critical path, and where the delays of the government and the contractor are concurrent, the contractor must establish its delay apart from that attributable to the government. BES points to no such critical path analysis of its own, even though it concedes that \u201c[t]he project encountered delays that are arguably attributable to both BES and the government\u201d. And although BES relies heavily on the contracting officer\u2019s decision to justify an award, our review is de novo, and the contracting officer\u2019s award is not a floor, because once an action is brought following a contracting officer\u2019s decision, the parties start before the Board with a clean slate. Nevertheless, we view the opinion of the government\u2019s expert as a concession by the government that BES is owed $69,483.88 in delay costs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Ultimately, the Board viewed this case as involving \u201cparticular and perhaps unusual circumstances\u201d and credited the expert testimony of the government\u2019s witness\u2013the only scheduling expert witness in the case..<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>So what?<\/strong>&nbsp;This case presents two good lessons for contractors. &nbsp;First, if you find that the contracting officer\u2019s decision appears to be well reasoned, you should carefully review every detail of your claim before pursuing an appeal. Remember, in these circumstances the appeal is de novo, which means it is a clean slate on the proof. Second, and more importantly, if you are going to pursue a claim involving delay damages, the burden will ultimately be in your hands to show how the delays affected the critical path, that the delays were not concurrent with contractor-related delays, and that you have an expert to support your claims. &nbsp;In other words, don\u2019t show up to a battle of the experts without an expert.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Matthew DeVries | Best Practices Construction Law It kind of goes without saying, but you should probably bring your expert to a dispute if there is going to be a battle of the experts.
