youre assuming the role of a construction manager who is representing a client-agency in a multi-phase construction project. You have taken over this project from your predecessor, and an ongoing field dispute remains unresolved. This field dispute involves disagreements about the contract documents. One or more parties claim that the documents were insufficient, and this interpretation is incorrect. If this dispute is not resolved during the regularly scheduled field dispute resolution meeting, it could escalate negatively. This escalation could involve judicial intervention, which could then lead to arbitration or court proceedings. In your role as the construction manager, you must propose a solution that avoids this escalation and is acceptable to the client-agency and the General Contractor.
To complete this:
Review all the necessary contracts and drawings, which are available in this module, to help you devise a solution.

Next, write a professional email to the team of your employers, the client-agency, and the General Contractor that showcases your expertise as a construction manager. The primary message of this email should detail:
A clear description of your proposed solution,
the rationale for this decision, including the logic behind the decision, the evidence from the provided documents, and your knowledge of the contracts role in the project – including what you have learned from this modules resources.
