The Committee on Contract Law (A4005) studies and reports on issues in the field of contract law, including procurement, award, contract administration, dispute resolution, and litigation of construction claims. State and federal highway agencies are now exploring ways to accelerate project delivery, modernize standard construction contracts, implement innovative contracting and procurement practices, participate in partnering, and improve the contract dispute resolution process to reduce claims and litigation. Today's transportation lawyers are an integral part of the modern transportation agency. Transportation lawyers draft contract provisions and legislation, provide legal counsel, administer or assist in the administration of construction contracts and the resolution of disputes, and, if necessary, litigate construction matters. This paper discusses some of the innovative practices and issues that transportation lawyers will face in the field of contract law in the new millennium. |
