Material Facts

  • Al Arrab Contracting Co. Ltd. was awarded a contract on 21 January 2006 for the construction of three school buildings in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
  • The contract required completion of the buildings within 730 days by 4 February 2008.
  • Construction was completed on or before 30 June 2012, with contract completion date extended to 31 August 2012 through ten bilateral modifications and two unilateral modifications.
  • None of the bilateral modifications contained an express reservation by appellant of rights to file claims for delays.
  • The modifications included price adjustments of limited scope, and the government assured the appellant that it would consider a future delay/impact claim.
