EPC Dispute – No Fairytale Ending for EPC Partnership
October 12, 2022
An EPC project missed its completion milestones and experienced cost escalations, resulting in Contractor claims that engineering progress was overstated at the time the contract was converted to lump sum. Baker & O’Brien analyzed records and opined on the accuracy of the engineering progress reported at conversion and the Contractor’s reliance on that progress to estimate its costs and schedule. We produced an expert report and gave oral testimony at the deposition proceedings and the arbitration hearing.
