Syllabus

CONTRACTS — OVERHEAD DAMAGES — DELAY: The trial court properly entered judgment in favor of defendant government contracting officer on plaintiff-contractor's breach-of-contract claim, holding that plaintiff could not recover overhead damages incurred for the periods of delay between April and July and October to November, because the parties agreed the start date for the building project would be July 26 and plaintiff caused the delay between October and November. The trial court erred in entering judgment in favor of defendant on plaintiff's breach-of-contract claim, holding that plaintiff could not recover overhead damages incurred for the period of delay between July and October, because overhead damages were recoverable under the contract, defendant was the sole cause of delay between July and October, and plaintiff provided timely notice.
