ABC Construction Company enters into a contract with XYZ Municipality to construct a new public library. The project has a strict deadline due to an upcoming community event, and the municipality is keen to have the library completed well in advance. To incentivize ABC Construction for early completion, the parties agree on a fixed price reward contract. As the construction progresses, ABC Construction faces several challenges, such as inclement weather, delayed material deliveries, and unforeseen site conditions. Despite these obstacles, the company manages to complete the project two months ahead of the agreed-upon deadline. In this scenario, how does the fixed price reward contract benefit ABC Construction Company? What are the specific terms and conditions associated with the reward? How can ABC Construction effectively claim and receive the reward from XYZ Municipality? Additionally, what legal considerations should ABC Construction be aware of when entering into a fixed price reward contract?
