Don't Risk A "Jury Verdict"

The ASBCA decision in States Roofing Corp. (Jan. 19, 2010) reminds us that contemporaneously tracking the costs of preparing and negotiating REAs can be critical to recovering them from the government as contract administration costs. The ASBCA found that the contractor's REA proposal efforts included in-house labor, legal, and accounting costs that were properly classified as contract administration costs, but found inter alia that personnel did not track those efforts separately from other contract work and the contractor's post-hoc allocations were unreliable - leading the ASBCA to use a "jury verdict" approach and award less than 12% of the contractor's claim.

California Assembly Passes AB 1776, Sending Major Antitrust Bill to the Senate
California’s COMPETE Act (AB 1776) narrowly passed the California State Assembly by three votes on Wednesday and now moves to the California State Senate. The bill — introduced in March by Assembly Majority Leader Cecilia Aguiar-Curry — is modeled closely on draft legislation recommended by the California Law Revision Commission in September. AB 1776 would not only significantly expand potential liability for single-firm conduct and monopolization but, based on recent amendments, would also explicitly decouple California antitrust analysis from certain federal standards. Crowell & Moring is representing the California Chamber of Commerce (CalChamber) in monitoring, analyzing, and responding to AB 1776.
