In this webinar, our experts will address the following topics critical to government contractors of all sizes and in all sectors with a focus on how contractors can maximize cost recovery and minimize losses due to COVID19-related terminations:

• Using contemporaneous change order accounting to substantiate future requests for equitable adjustments (REA) and claims

• Pricing Changes in Accordance with the FAR Changes clauses, FAR 15.4 and FAR 31
• Constructive changes and related damages issues
• The theory and calculation of disruption/loss of productivity claims
• Best practices for calculating delay claims, including proof of delay and damages resulting from delay (e.g., labor, material escalation, indirect costs)
