ASBCA Rejects Claims For Delay Costs Where Period Of Performance Was Extended Through A No-Cost Modi

The Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals (ASBCA) recently rejected claims for delay costs where the period of performance was extended through a no-cost modification. The contractor argued that they were entitled to delay costs because the no-cost modification constituted a constructive change to the contract. However, ASBCA found that the modification did not constitute a change to the contract and therefore the contractor was not entitled to delay costs. This decision highlights the importance of carefully reviewing contract modifications and understanding their impact on the performance of the contract. The full article is linked above.
