Heading: The Ram Contract

Text: 26 The Ram resale contract differed from the original contract in several ways. The original sale included an estimated 2,100 MBF of timber, while the resale included less, an estimated 530 MBF, as a result of CDC's partial performance. The original contract provided three operating seasons for logging operations, while the resale contract provided only a single operating season. The resale contract provided for a 10 percent down payment of $3,600, while the original contract required a 5 percent down payment of $9,800. The resale contract required a midpoint payment in the amount of $11,534.48, while the original contract did not require a midpoint payment. 27 There were three bidders on the Ram resale. It sold for less than the then-current value of the remaining timber volume plus the cost of resale. Pursuant to Provision C9.4, the Forest Service's contracting officer demanded the difference with interest as damages. The amount demanded was $29,935.71.
