Experienced contractors know that the contract award is only the beginning. Performance comes with its own set of challenges. Any number of issues may arise during performance, each of which can lead to unanticipated costs or delays. Contractors who wish to recoup their costs, or offset their delays, must learn to utilize certain tools, namely, Requests for Equitable Adjustments (REAs) and claims. To use these tools effectively, contractors must familiarize themselves with the relevant portions of the FAR as well as the Contract Disputes Act (CDA). These laws control not only how a contractor may perform a contract, but how a contractor may adjustments to its contracts. In this webinar, experienced government contract attorney Maria Panichelli will walk you through the applicable laws, and explain how to use REAs and Claims to seek the additional time and money you are entitled to. Attendees will learn about the similarities and differences between REAs and Claims, when it is appropriate to use each tool, insider strategies for using both, and common claims/REA bases.
