workers, simply started re-wiring the bridge back to its original configuration. It turns out that over the course of about one hundred years of repairs the operating engineers had improperly rewired it because they lost the original diagrams. Within a matter of weeks, the bridge was operating properly. The risk involved here was that no one, neither the A/E firm nor the operating engineers took the time to research the archives related to this particular bridge, except for the contractor. The contractor understood the changes clause and notice provisions and promptly submitted his change order to his economic benefit. MDC believes that risks are identifiable and manageable. We also believe that they can be turned to your advantage, but only if you recognize how they are allocated in the contract and take the appropriate steps to resolve them before they are turned into claims.
