:CIVIL ACTION-LAW
Defendant.
COMPLAINT
AND COMES NOW, Plaintiff Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc., by and through its
counsel, McNees Wallace & Nurick LLC, and states as follows:
1. Plaintiff Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc. ("Groff') is a business corporation with
its corporate offices located at 6779 Carlisle Pike, Mechanicsburg, PA 17055.
Groff is engaged in the service/repair and rental of heavy construction equipment.
Defendant E&S Excavating, Ina ("E&S") is a business corporation with its
corporate offices located at 1176 Pennsy Road, Pequea, PA 17565.
4. E&S is the owner of a Model BW210 Bomag Vibratory Roller ("Bomag") which is
used to compact ground surfaces.
In eazly November 2000, a representative of E&S contacted Groff to inquire about
service work and repairs on the $omag.
6. In response to E&S' inquiry, on November 10, 2000, Alan Fertenbaguh, Service
Manager of Groff, faxed a repair estimate to E&S itemizing the service work and repair costs for
the Bomag ("Repair Estimate"). A copy of the repair estimate is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
incorporated herein.
The Repair Estimate included a quote of Nine Thousand Seven Hundred Ninety-
Five Dollars and Seventeen Cents ($9,795.17) for the repairs.
8. Following receipt of the Repair Estimate, E&S called Groff and added several
additional items to the scope of the Repair Estimate and orally directed Groff to proceed with the
repair and service work pursuant to the Repair Estimate, as well as the additional items.
Groffperformed all service work and repairs requested by E&S on the Bomag
during the period of November 16, 2000, to January 12, 2001.
10. Groff performed all service work and repairs in a satisfactory manner.
11. On January 18, 2001, Groff transmitted an invoice to E&S detailing the repairs and
requesting payment in the amount of Ten Thousand Six Hundred Dollars and Sixty-Five Cents
($10,600.65). A copy of this invoice and supporting documentation is attached hereto as Exhibit
B, and incorporated herein.
12. At no time has E&S denied that it authorized the repair and service work or that
the price invoiced was not the agreed upon cost.
13. Despite repeated requests for payment, E&S has failed and continues to fail to
make payment.
COUNTI
BREACH OF CONTRACT
14. The allegations contained in paragraphs 1 through 13 are incorporated by reference
as if fully set forth herein.
15. At the request of E&S, Groff performed service repair work on the Bomag
pursuant to the Repair Estimate as expanded by E&S.
16. E&S breached the contract for service work and repairs on the Bomag by failing to
pay the original invoice dated January 18, 2001, or invoices sent thereafter.
17. As a direct result of E&S' failure to pay Groff, Groff has incurred damages in the
amount of Ten Thousand Six Hundred Dollars and Sixty-Five Cents ($10,600.65) plus interest for
service work and repairs performed on the Bomag.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc., demands judgment against
E&S Excavating, Inc., in the amount of Ten Thousand Six Hundred Dollars Sixty-Five Cents
($10,600.65), plus interest and costs.
COUNT II
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
In the alternative, Plaintiff pleads as follows:
18. Paragraphs 1 through 13 are incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein.
19. Groff performed service work and repairs at the express request of E&S and at a
fair and reasonable price.
20. E&S at all times was aware of the service work and repair costs.
21. E&S has received the benefit of Groffs service work and repairs and has refused to
pay Groff therefor.
22. E&S will be unjustly enriched if it does not pay Groff for said repairs.
23. Injustice would result if E&S were permitted to retain the benefits of the service
work and repairs performed by Groff without paying for them.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Groff Tractor & Equipment, Inc., demands judgment against
E&S Excavating, Inc., in the amount of Ten Thousand Six Hundred Dollars Sixty-Five Cents
($10,600.65), plus interest and costs.
Respectfully submitted,
