A pre-recorded streaming VIDEO replay from the September 2025 webcast seminar, 9th Annual Federal Government Contracting Seminar 2025.
Cosponsored with the Construction Law and Public Contracts Section of the Virginia State Bar
The Construction Law and Public Contracts Section of the Virginia State Bar specially designed this annual event in response to requests from practitioners for quality programming in the field of federal government contracting. Expert faculty cover important topics and present exceptional materials. Now in its ninth year, this four-hour seminar focuses on Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) provisions, recent trends in delay claims and damages analysis, and federal construction contract terminations.
Topics covered:
Expect the Unexpected
Anthony (Tony) Anikeeff, Steven Lunsford, Arnie Mason, Zahra Syed
As recent unexpected events such as COVID and tariffs have taught us, the government contracts and construction industry needs to prepare for how the unexpected may disrupt projects, including supply chain issues, increased material and other costs, project delays, and the bottom line. If past is prologue, contractors would be wise to have a command of the current remedies available in government contracts, as well as contracting tools that may be implemented to guard against the unknown by more clearly defining responsibilities for handling unexpected events in construction contracts, including provisions for delays, price adjustments, force majeure, and impacts from tariffs.
In this presentation, the speakers review various FAR provisions that allocate risks associated with various events, including economic price adjustments, changes in scope, changes in law, force majeure, delays, suspensions of work, and terminations. They also address contract drafting tools that may be implemented in subcontracts to protect the parties and more equitably allocate the risk of cost and time impacts when your project encounters the unexpected.
Recent Trends in Delay Claims and Damages Analysis
Jonathan R. Wright, Joseph J. McFadden, Ryan S. Clark, Brandon Regan
Join panelists for an in-depth discussion of recent trends in delay claims and damages analysis. Various topics discussed include use of technological developments to assist in the in delay, loss of productivity, and damages quantifications; increasing use of “offsetting delay” arguments to avoid imposition of liquidated damages for post-substantial completion date changes; increasing sophistication of contractor delay claims and analysis; and impact of tariffs and trade policy on contractor claims.
Federal Construction Contract Terminations
Daniel D. Rounds, Christopher W. Foux
Discussion focuses on terminations of federal construction contracts, both for default and for convenience. Topics include the relevant clauses and leading cases interpreting them, steps to take when faced with a termination, considerations for pricing terminations settlement proposals, and more.
