Contract Clause for Weather Delays Does Not Override Suspens

Contract Clause for Weather Delays Does Not Override Suspension of Work Clause | Davis Wright Tremaine LLP


In the recent case of
Granite Construction Co., ASBCA 62281, the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals granted partial summary judgment to a contractor that sought delay damages under FAR 52.242-14, Suspension of Work—overcoming the Government's argument that the delays were contemplated under a separate clause for adverse weather delays.
The contractor, Granite Construction Company (Granite), sought compensation for 19 days of delay following impacts from Hurricane Harvey and the Government's related directed suspension of work. The total suspension and delay period was 49 days, but the Government agreed to compensate Granite for 30 days under the Suspension of Work clause, which permits compensation to contractors for delays that last for "an unreasonable period of time."
