OLSZEWSKI, Judge,
concurring and dissenting:
I agree with the majority in every respect except on its holding that appellants are jointly and severally responsible for the entire amount of delay damages. I am of the opinion that such a result, in some situations, will unfairly and unjustly place a penalty for delay damages on a party who may not be responsible for the entire amount.
Therefore, I would hold that the extent of appellants’ responsibility for payment of damages for delay should be in direct proportion to the amount of delay that they have actually generated minus the amount of delay attributable to appellees’ conduct.
