Z0548 RELEASED B-172046 111973 The Honorable Morris K. Udall House of Representatives 2 ..,c . ft Dear Mr. Udall: You requested on May 8, 1972, that we examine into certain circumstances related to theico struction o a ply h iag po e t at Fort Huachuca, Arizona7.The on c ux was awarded to Quiller Construction Company, Los J'.. Angeles, by the Los Angeles District of the Corps of Engi- neers. Quiller subcontracted a portion of the work to South- land Mechanical Constructors Corporation, Redlands, California; which, in turn, subcontracted the work to Cooley Equipment 4-Company, Tucson, Arizona. Your letter relates mainly to these / companies. In subsequent meetings we briefed your office on the progress of our fieldwork at Fort Huachuca and our tentative findings. We mentioned that Cooley was experiencing some problems with the job and had submitted several claims to Southland for costs incurred for additional work. Cooley claimed that the additional work (1) was caused by incorrect descriptions of the scope and site conditions or (2) was required by the architect-engineer firm hired by the Corps of Engineers to inspect the work although beyond the specifi- cations for the job. Southland agreed with Cooley, and both companies requested Quiller to file a claim against the Gov- ernment. On May 7, 1973, Quiller forwarded to the Los Angeles District a claim submitted by Nixen and Lewis, attorneys at law, on behalf of Southland for $67,501.45 and Cooley for $280,147.49. Quiller requested also that the contracting officer render his decision on the claim. The claim has been filed pursuant to the terms of the disputes clause of the prime contract, which provides for initial resolution of disputes by the contracting officer subject to appeal to the Armed Services Board of Contract Appeals. The disputes clause provided by paragraph 7-602.6 of the Armed Services Procurement Regulation for use in fixed-price construction contracts follows.
