Contract 855 was awarded to the Woh Hup-Alpine-STEC JV (Main Contractor) in August 2004 for a Contract Sum of S$400 million
Significant post-contract variations were identified as emanating from the new requirements implemented by BCA into the design of temporary works earth retaining structures as a consequence of the Nicol Highway incident
Other claim and variation events were encountered during the execution of the Works giving rise to claims for additional costs and/or time extensions
JAB were commissioned by the Main Contractor to provide commercial and contractual advisory services

In total the Main Contractor issued over 70 notified claims for additional costs and time extensions
Through a Commercial Settlement in late 2008, the Main Contractor was awarded significant monetary compensation and an Extension of time of 18 months for the amicable settlement of all contractual matters known up to that period
This Commercial Settlement figure represented 25% of the original Contract Sum and was approximately 75% of the overall claim amount submitted by the Main Contractor
