#7 Federal Construction Contracts and Excusable Delays

On this episode guests John Sebastian and Brian Padove attorneys with Watt, Tieder, Hoffar & Fitzgerald, LLP will discuss Federal Construction Contracts and more specifically the Federal Acquisition Regulation or FAR in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. They will share insights into, when and how to provide notice, the burden of proof, suspension of work, and the sovereign acts doctrine. As well as stressing the importance of reviewing your current contract documents and taking the pandemic into consideration as you move forward with new contracts during these uncertain times. For more information on this topic check out the NASBP Blog post that our speakers co-authored with several colleagues at Watt Tieder, Federal Construction Contracts vs. COVID-19: An “Excused” Delay?
