OPINION
MAYER, Judge.
Plaintiff Salem Engineering and Construction Corporation (Salem) brought this suit under the Contract Disputes Act of 1978, 41 U.S.C. § 609(a)(1) (Supp. IV 1980), for an equitable adjustment of a construction contract price for work performed on instructions of defendant allegedly exceeding the requirements of the contract. The government defended on the basis that Salem’s interpretation of the contract is unreasonable and it had a duty to request clarification if the contract specifications and drawings were unclear or ambiguous. Trial was held in Boston, Massachusetts.
