The resale contract differed from CDC's original contract in several respects. 20 First, the original contract included an estimated 4,300 MBF of timber, while the resale included less, an estimate of only 792 MBF, due to CDC's partial performance. The resale provided one and one-half operating seasons for logging, while the original contract, as extended to March 31, 1986, provided three operating seasons in which to log. In addition, the resale contract required a 10 percent down payment of $6,300, while the original contract required only a 5 percent down payment of $27,500. Furthermore, the resale contract required a midpoint payment in the amount of $15,874.51, while the original contract did not require a midpoint payment. 21 The resale contract sold for less than the then-current value of the remaining timber volume, plus cost of resale. Pursuant to Provision C9.4, the Forest Service's contracting officer demanded the difference with interest as damages. The amount was $82,916.
