Lovett Silverman was retained by the demolition contractor's surety to investigate the termination, determine potential exposure, and assist with finding a completion contractor. Part of the assignment was a review of contractor documents to determine the remaining available contract funds.

• On-going work was being performed by others due to constant changes in the project schedule, which was exposing the surety even further.

Based on Lovett Silverman's analysis, the surety was able to determine a course of action for further review. Negotiations commenced and resulted in the general contractor issuing a subcontract directly to the completion contractor which allowed for work to continue without any additional cost escalation.
