- Abstract
The article reports on the case over the U.S. Corps of Engineers v. Daewoo Engineering and Construction Co. Ltd. It states that Daewoo, which has been awarded a contract to construct the 53-mile road for $88.6 million in the island of Babeldaop, Palau, submitted a claim to the contracting officer alleging that the government provided defective specifications and breach its implied duty of good faith and fair dealing. The U.S. Court of Federal Claims (COFC) found that Daewoo's claim was built on a foundation of fault and unsupported assumptions. It shows that the Court awarded the government almost its entire counter-claim under the Contract Disputes Act (CDA) and a $10,000 penalty under the False Claims Act (FCA).
