Text: After beginning the Superior project in 2007, Central States immediately began to encounter delays caused by Delta-T’s failure to deliver pipe drawings on time. Although delays continued through the fall and winter of 2007 and early 2008, Central States never invoked the delay provisions in the subcontract. In April 2008, Central States informed Agra that it had achieved substantial completion of the project and closed out the contract. But, a month later, Central States presented a $1.08 million impact claim to Agra based on the delays and increased costs of work it had performed at Superior. Nevertheless, it continued work on the Plymouth project. Then, in early June 2008, Agra notified Central States that it was in default for failing to complete work on the Plymouth project. In late June, Agra partially rejected Central States’s request for reimbursement on the grounds that Central States did not properly substantiate the completed work. Unable to resolve their differences, Central States demobilized and left the Plymouth site. After sending multiple notices to Central States that Central States was in default for suspending work, Agra hired Wanzek, another subcontractor, to complete the Plymouth project. -6-
