Public Entity Construction Contracts: The Pivotal Dispute Provisions

Each year public entities spend billions of dollars on construction projects. As a result of these projects, time-consuming and costly complications such as construction project delay claims, defective workmanship, force majeure claims, lien issues, insurance issues, jurisdiction, payment issues and indemnification issues may arise. It is critical for public entities to have a firm understanding of the construction process and to implement thoughtful contract provisions.
