Court Case (A) Clark Concrete Contractors, Inc., 99-1 BCA 30 280 [1] I 99 1 30,280
[The Government] is correct in asserting that the work [ ] g performed during the periods compared by [the Contractor] was not identical in each period. We would be surprised to learn that work performed in periods being compared is ever identical on a construction project, however. And it need not be; the ascertainment of damages for labor inefficiency is not f f ff susceptible to absolute exactness. (Citation omitted). We will accept a comparison if it is between kinds of p p work which are reasonably alike, such that the approximations it involves will be meaningful.
