Dispute Resolution Board (DRB) recommendations are advisory in nature. The DRB is intended to facilitate quick, contract-based dispute resolution by reviewing facts, hearing positions, and issuing a written recommendation to help the parties settle a dispute without resorting to formal litigation or arbitration. This recommendation does not automatically bind the parties or create a contractual obligation unless the contract explicitly states that it does. The usual effect is that the parties may choose to adopt the DRB recommendation, negotiate around it, or pursue other dispute-resolution avenues. The general purpose is to provide expert guidance to keep the project moving and reduce costly delays, not to override the contract or force a binding outcome.
