Public Contracts
Public entities undertaking projects face comprehensive public
contracting statutes and environmental laws, and a contentious claims environment. These factors pose legal and practical challenges unique to the public, for both project planning and project disputes.
In the planning phase, the unique challenges include; (1) Complying (in the planning stage) with specific state statutes, zoning and building ordinances, general plan requirements, etc., (2) Drafting public contracts that comply with public contracting statutes and incorporate necessary requirements regarding schedules, cost reports, claims reports, insurance, and the allocation of risk for differing site conditions, (3) Conducting bidding, issuing adgendas, and awarding contracts that comply with public contracting statutes, and follow recognized standards of good practice.
