The objective of this research is to produce a legal research digest that provides potential remedies available to the sponsor and contractors that experience increased costs due to delays and show how those damages are measured. Remedies must include legal and administrative remedies, including risk allocation, and legal and practical enforcement issues.
The research should address:
(1) Ownership of property;
(2) Right of way;
(3) Allocation of risk between sponsor and contractor; and
(4) Third parties (such as utilities), adjoining owners (such as railroads), and techniques (such as guaranteed maximum contract price).
Interviews should be conducted as appropriate with a representative subset of this group. Relevant statutes and regulations, permit, and accommodation policies should be collected.
