For contractors whose work and payments were affected by the shutdown, the questions now are: what can we get paid for and how do we get it?   This “nuts and bolts” webinar will discuss contractors’ basic entitlement to price/cost and schedule adjustments and the procedure for pursuing these remedies under a variety of clauses most commonly used or triggered during the shutdown.  While each contractor’s situation is necessarily unique and best addressed on a contract-by-contract basis, this webinar will provide a basic framework and issue-spotting tools to help the contracting community identify opportunities for recovery to mitigate the harmful effects of the shutdown. 

Please join Robert K. Tompkins and David S. Black, Co-Chairs of Holland & Knight LLP’s Government Contracts Team, for a discussion of contractor rights and remedies in the wake of the government shutdown.

This timely webinar will help you understand:

• What impacts, obvious and not-so-obvious, did the shutdown cause?
• When costs of carrying employees idled by the shutdown are recoverable?
• What other kinds of increased costs arising from de-mobilizing and remobilizing a contractor’s workforce are allowable?
• What is the basic format and supporting documentation of requests or claims?
• What are the key timeframes?
• What happens when a contractor worked in excess of contract funding?
• What should a contractor do if the Government shuts down again in February?
