Hi,
I have a problem in which there is a contractor delay and employer delay for a particular activity. Both these have independent critical path delays (negative total float). TF of employer delay is less than that of contractor though both are negative. (say -25 for employer activity and -50 for contractor activity).
Can the employer ask for EOT and apportionment from employer in this case.

According to most forms of contract, the Contractor is entitled to an EOT for the Employer delay, regardless of any concurrent delay caused by himself.
However, it is not the same for damages. The Contractor should identify & isolate the costs associated with the Employer caused delay. In practice, this is not so simple as it sounds.
