Scope Known about Rock-Filled Dam Project:

The dam requires river diversion and work over two or more rainy seasons. The contract is lump sum, competitively bid, and will be self-performed. The owner has attempted to shift all risk to the contractor by employing "no differing sit conditions" and "no damage for delay" clauses. There is a bonus/penalty provision of $2,500 per calendar day for early or late delivery. The early completion bonus is capped at $500,000, with no cap for late delivery penalty.

Liquidated damages end at the finish of demobilization. Indirect costs per calendar day are $2,800 for the "normal" schedule and $3,200 for the "crashed" schedule.
