MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
BRADEN, Judge.
A subcontractor bid on an important Army training facility without reviewing the underlying Design Plans and Specifications. That act caused a substantial delay in the construction of the project that already was behind schedule because of inclement weather conditions. Rather than explaining the situation to the Army Generals waiting for the facility to be completed and face their displeasure, the United States Army Corps of Engineers decided to complete the project on time, without regard to cost, and then look for a scapegoat.
