Construction Law: Public Projects

State of North Carolina

North Carolina Depart of Transportation ("NCDOT")

Our attorneys are among the few attorneys who have actually tried lawsuits against the NCDOT and obtained landmark judgments favorable to our clients. We have decades of experience in assisting contractors in obtaining supplemental agreements they are due, or preserving and prosecuting their claim rights in the event the NCDOT fails to timely acknowledge their right to additional compensation while the project is ongoing.

Our firm regularly prosecutes verified claims and lawsuits against the NCDOT. In addition to being familiar with the laws that govern claims against the NCDOT, we are also well versed in the claims provisions of the NCDOT's Standard Specifications for Roads and Streets. Our familiarity with the applicable statutes and regulations not only allows us to handle your claims in a cost effective manner, but this can also afford you the advantage you deserve to assure that your claims are heard on their merits instead of being dismissed on a technicality.

North Carolina Department of Administration, Cities, Counties and Other State Institutions

Our attorneys are well versed in North Carolina's public procurement laws, regulations and standard form contracts. We can assist you in preserving and prosecuting your claim rights during and after a project is complete, so that any additional compensation due you can be recovered.

Payment Bonds

We often assist subcontractors in their efforts to obtain payment for work they have performed on either publicly or privately bonded projects. We know how to assure that your right to prompt payment is perfected and preserved in full conformance with the laws and contract issues unique to North Carolina's Little Miller Act as well as North Carolina's statutes requiring prompt payment to subcontractors.

Alternatively, we are also experienced in assisting our general contractor clients and their bonding companies in defending against any unjustified claims against their payment or performance bonds.

Federal Government Projects

Our attorneys have extensive experience in dealing with the multitude of federal government agencies and institutions operating in North Carolina. Whether you are dealing with the Corps of Engineers on a military project at Fort Bragg or the Environmental Protection Agency in Research Triangle Park, we have the experience to assist you in the multitude of contract issues and disputes that can arise on Federal construction projects.

Miller Act Bond Claims

Our practice includes prosecuting and defending claims for payment under the Federal Miller Act payment bond requirements.

Miscellaneous Public Construction Issues

In addition to contract disputes before and after construction, our practice includes representation of clients in bid protests, bid mistakes and debarment proceedings at both the State and Federal levels.
