The 'global impact' or 'total cost' method of pricing a claim calculates damages as:
Answer: Actual total costs minus the original contract price, without segregating individual impacts
The total cost method calculates a claim by subtracting the original bid from total actual costs, asserting the entire overrun was caused by the owner's actions.
Which type of claim seeks compensation for work performed that falls outside the original contract terms but was directed by the owner without a formal change order?
Answer: Constructive change claim
A constructive change claim seeks compensation for extra work informally directed by the owner that constitutes a de facto contract change.
A 'Type I differing site condition' claim arises when:
Answer: Actual site conditions differ materially from conditions indicated in the contract documents
Type I differing site conditions occur when actual physical conditions at the site differ materially from those described in the contract documents or specifications.
In delay claims, 'concurrent delay' typically means:
Answer: Both owner-caused and contractor-caused delays occur during the same time period
Concurrent delay occurs when owner-responsible and contractor-responsible delay events overlap, which generally limits or eliminates the contractor's entitlement to additional compensation.
The 'measured mile' method for calculating loss of productivity in a claim involves:
Answer: Comparing productivity in an unimpacted period to productivity in the impacted period
The measured mile method compares actual productivity in an undisturbed (baseline) period on the same project to productivity during the disrupted period to isolate owner-caused losses.
Liquidated damages (LDs) in a construction contract are best described as:
Answer: Pre-agreed damages per day of delay that substitute for actual damages proof
Liquidated damages are a contractually stipulated daily rate for delay damages, enforceable when they represent a reasonable pre-estimate of actual harm rather than a penalty.
