Obermayer Rebmann Maxwell & Hippel LLP recently issued the following announcement.
Join Maria Panichelli on Thursday, August 12, 2021, as she presents Deltek’s webinar, titled “REAs and CDA Claims: Getting Paid for Unanticipated Costs on Federal Projects.”
Experienced contractors know that the contract award is only the beginning. Performance can raise its own host of challenges and problems, each of which can lead to unanticipated costs or delays. Contractors who wish to recoup their costs, or offset delays, must familiarize themselves with the relevant portions of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) and the Contract Disputes Act (CDA). These laws dictate how a contractor may perform a contract, and how a contractor may seek compensation.
Walk through the applicable laws with experienced government contract attorney Maria Panichelli as she explains how to use request for equitable adjustments (REAs) and claims to seek contract adjustments.
- Similarities and differences between REAs and claims
- When it is appropriate to use each
- Insider strategies for using both
- Common claims/REA bases
