The Davis Group, Inc.
The Davis Group, Inc. appealed the ASBCA's prior decision regarding delays in notifying the government of site conditions. The Board denied the motion for reconsideration, affirming its earlier findings.
Material Facts
- Davis contends that some of the Board's findings were erroneous, not supported by the record, or clearly contrary to the preponderance of the evidence.
- Davis' delay in notifying the COE of a possible changed site condition was found to be the proximate cause of the later delay in government approval.
- The contract required Whitaker's final geotechnical evaluation report to be submitted along with the first foundation design submittal.
- Davis submitted its design on 2 December 2009 but failed to establish that it submitted the final geotechnical evaluation report.
- The COE was found to have knowledge of buried wood at the site on 6 January 2010.
- Davis' 18 January 2010 notice prompted the COE's subsequent investigation on 28-29 January 2010.
