ASBCA Rejects Contractor’s Attempt to Blame Performance Delays on Government’s Quality Assurance Representative; ASBCA No. 57963, MOQA-AQYOL JV LTD.

Appeal of agency determination to terminate a construction contract for default is denied, where (1) the contractor was unable to prove that delays were caused by the government’s quality assurance representative, (2) the government presented other evidence—including the failure to submit design plans and misleading conduct—that further justified the termination, and (3) the contractor failed to establish that it was entitled to any additional payment for the work it performed and materials left on site.
