Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The "Measured Mile" concept is used in construction claims to help calculate damages for delays. It involves measuring the time it takes to complete a certain amount of work under normal conditions, and comparing that time to the time it took to complete the same amount of work during the delay period. However, the accuracy of the measurement is important in determining the reasonableness of the claim. The concept can be used in both highway and vertical construction, and is not limited to Federal work. The concept can be adapted to the metric system of measurement.
