Framework

What is the true scope and cost impact of the utility conflict?

Foundation redesign: how much work must be redone?

Utility conflict affects 35% of foundation footprint—requires full redesign on 2 of 5 building bays

Redesign cost: $1.2M additional (foundation + structural engineering + permitting)

Does the utility conflict create a valid change order claim?

Differing site conditions clause (DSC): utility locations not shown in owner-furnished survey—valid claim

DSC claim preserves: $1.2M direct cost + 8-week time extension + LD waiver for concurrent delay

What schedule recovery options exist and at what cost?

Fast-tracking: overlap structural steel with foundation completion?

Fast-track option: steel fabrication begins now (14-week lead time)—recovers 4 weeks if foundation completes on revised schedule

Risk premium: 8% steel cost increase for accelerated fabrication (+$160K), rework risk if foundation changes again

Overtime and crew augmentation on critical path?

2-shift operation on foundation work: recovers 3 weeks, costs $280K in premium labor (28% overtime rate)

Combined fast-track + 2-shift: total recovery 6–7 weeks, net schedule impact reduced to 1–2 weeks

How do we manage contract risk and owner relationship?

Liquidated damages exposure and mitigation?

Without recovery: 8 weeks × $3,000/day = $168,000 LD exposure at substantial completion

With DSC claim + recovery plan: LD exposure reduced to 1–2 weeks ($21K–$42K); claim fully documented

Subcontractor coordination and owner communication?

14 subcontractors affected by revised schedule—re-sequencing notices required within 5 business days

Owner briefing protocol: weekly schedule report + formal recovery plan submission within 10 days
