The High-Stakes Challenge

A regional sanitation authority faced multi-million-dollar breach of contract, differing site conditions, and delay damage claims brought by general engineering contractors during a major municipal infrastructure buildout.

Procedural Background & Motions

Contractors sought $30,000,000 in uncompensated delay damages, asserting complex critical path method (CPM) schedule impacts across multiple active construction phases.

Our Legal Strategy

Coordinated exhaustive forensic discovery, audited contractor scheduling logs against contemporaneous project inspection records, and filed strategic dispositive motions under public contracting statutes.

The Outcome & Results

Successfully defended the public authority, securing a favorable structured resolution that mitigated municipal liability and protected public funds.

Key Takeaway

“Large-scale construction disputes are won through detailed contemporaneous record audits that dismantle contractor delay claims line by line.”
