Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute

Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute

Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute

(OP)
I am trying to find this form:  "Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute".  It is referred to on Louisiana DOTD's website under Engineering Directives and Standards Vol 1, Ch 1, Sec 1, Dir 28, but I cannot find the actual form anywhere online or otherwise.  Can someone provide the form or direct me to someone else who can?

Thanks,

Michelle

RE: Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute

Don't think that there is a specific form, it just needs to be put in a specific format. The written notification must be titled "Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute". See the text below from an actual contract:


b. Claims not Covered by Project Specifications:
1) If the Contractor deems that other circumstances, not usually governed by the project specifications, have resulted or may result in damages, the Contractor
may file for equitable adjustment of the dispute. These circumstances may be delays resulting from action or inaction of the Contracting Agency, plan errors, disagreements with the Engineer's interpretation of the plans and specifications and other causes.
2) A copy of a notification to be titled "Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute" shall be sent by the Contractor to the Engineer.
3) After filing the "Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute" form, the Contractor may file a request for equitable adjustment. However, except in special cases, the Contracting Agency will send the request to the Engineer for first review. The request should contain insofar as is known at the time complete details of the dispute and an estimated cost.

bimr,

The reason I believe it must be an actual LADOTD form is the following verbage from the EDSM:

The attached form titled "Contractor's Notification of Contract Dispute" should be used by the Contractor to immediately notify the Project Engineer of disputed issues

Unfortunately, there is no attachment and I haven't had any luck calling around.

Contact the engineering office at  (225) 379-1234.  You are looking for the attachment to Engineering Directive III.1.1.28
