Heading: The Cougar and Short Flat Contracts

Text: 28 The Cougar and Short Flat contracts were advertised but not resold. The appraised value of the remaining timber on both contracts was less than the then-current value of remaining timber volume at the default date. Pursuant to Provision C9.4, the contracting officer demanded damages. Included in the damage demands were resale costs, reforestation costs, and interest. At the time, the amounts requested on the Cougar and Short Flat contracts were $51,830.75 and $24,785.86, respectively. 29 The government subsequently made several changes to its damage demands. In the aggregate, factoring in what it believed was the effect of the down payment and midpoint payment requirements on damages, the government demanded $160,454.12 on all six CDC contracts.
