Legal Question in Construction Law in California

What in the world are you doing asking this on LawGuru? Don't you have a City Attorney, County Counsel, agency general counsel or some other attorney or team of attorneys available to you for consultation? What public agency in this state doesn't have some sort of staff attorneys or otherwise available attorneys for their public works project managers? Anyway, the short answer to your question is, "no" you are not going to find a code section that says how many RFI's or Change Orders a contractor can submit. If you have a problem contractor the first thing to make sure of is that you don't actually have problem design documents. If your plans and specifications are good, and the contractor is using RFI's and CO requests to try to set up a claim, then you better lawyer-up now and get some guidance to fend that off. I have over 25 years of public works construction experience and my last job for a paycheck was Construction Counsel to the San Francisco International Airport, so if I can be of service to your agency, please feel free to have the appropriate person contact me.

It is possible that I could give you a more complete answer and/or refer you to local resources if I knew where you are located. However, LawGuru for some unknown reason decided to stop asking questioners for their zip code. That makes it impossible for us attorneys answering questions to provide a location specific answer. In many cases what county or even city you are in is crucial to the help we can provide, especially if you are asking a Family Law, Real Estate, or Landlord/Tenant question. If you appreciate my providing you this free answer, please take a moment to contact LawGuru Support and complain about this. Thanks.
