CIVIL ACTION
ANSWER WITH NEW MATTER TO
PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT
AND NOW COMES defendant Westwood Hills Associates, LLC, by and through
its attorneys, Stevens & Lee, and submits the within Answer With New Matter to Plaintiffs
Complaint as follows:
1. Admitted.
2. Admitted.
3. Admitted upon information and belief.
4. Admitted.
COUNT I - BREACH OF CONTRACT
5. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that in June 2002 Melham
and Westwood entered into an Agreement. The interpretation of the Agreement set forth in
Paragraph 5 of the Complaint is denied. Furthermore, the Agreement, attached as Exhibit "A," is
neither signed nor dated by the Defendant and is not the Agreement under which the parties
performed. To the contrary, the parties entered into an oral agreement whereby Melham agreed
to complete all engineering and surveying work for Phase V, including, but not limited to,
engineering work, surveying work, preparation and submissions of plans for approval by various
agencies, submissions of plans for permitting, keeping NPDES permits active and valid,
evaluation of construction costs and review of proposals submitted to construct based upon
Melham's scope of work and the performance of these obligations on a specific time schedule.
09/25/03/SL1384222v1/68380.001
In return, Westwood Hills agreed to pay $12,900 for this work, half payable up front and half
when all plan submissions and approvals/recordation were obtained.
6. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is denied that the document attached as
Exhibit "A" is a copy of the contract between the parties. The Agreement, attached as
Exhibit "A," is neither signed nor dated by the Defendant and is not the Agreement under which
the parties performed. Any interpretation of that contract is specifically denied. Furthermore, the
allegations set forth in Paragraph 6 are legal conclusions to which no response is required. The
parties entered into an oral agreement whereby Melham agreed to complete all engineering and
surveying work for Phase V, including, but not limited to, engineering work, surveying work,
preparation and submissions of plans for approval by various agencies, submissions of plans for
permitting, keeping NPDES permits active and valid, evaluation of construction costs and review
of proposals submitted to construct based upon Melham's scope of work and the perfonnance of
these obligations on a specific time schedule. In return, Westwood Hills agreed to pay $12,900
for this work, half payable up front and half when all plan submissions and approvals/recordation
were obtained.
Denied. It is denied that Westwood requested, and Melham performed,
certain extra work, including but not limited to, additional stakeout work, surveying and
preparation of grading sheets. At no time did an authorized representative from Westwood Hills
Associates authorize any extra-contractual work. To the contrary, no extra-contractual work was
ordered and the work that was performed under the contract was performed deficiently.
Furthermore, this work was within the original contract scope and therefore was not "extra".
8. Denied. It is denied that Westwood agreed to pay Melham at Melham's usual
hourly rates for extra-contractual services. To the contrary, no extra-contractual services were
ordered or authorized by Westwood Hills Associates. Melham did not perform any
2
09/25/03/SLI 384222v1/68380.001
extra-contractual work and, in fact, did not perform the work under the contract in a
workmanlike manner.
9. Denied. It is denied Melham completed all work under the initial Agreement
and all extra work in a good and workmanlike manner. To the contrary, Melham failed to
perform the contractual work in a good and workmanlike manner. Melham's deficiencies
included, but were not limited to:
a. technical deficiencies with the submitted plans that had to be rectified before
township approval could be obtained,
b. the work that was performed did not meet the agreed schedule,
c. the plans as submitted were inaccurate in that they contained:
1. incorrect lot numbers,
2. incorrect lot size calculations,
3. incorrect elevations,
4. incorrect man hole elevations,
5. incorrect catch basin elevations,
6. incorrect grading plans.
d. Melham allowed the NPDES permit to lapse, causing delay.
Additionally, there was no extra work that was authorized to be completed by Melham. The
defects in Melham's performance caused damage to Westwood Hills insofar as Westwood Hills
had to incur additional expenses to bring the man holes and catch basins up to the incorrect grade
and has had to hire a new surveyor/engineer to complete the work that Melham performed
deficiently.
10. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that Melham submitted
invoices to Westwood. It is denied that these were submitted "in the normal course of business"
as that term is undefined. To the contrary, Melham is not owed any money on those invoices.
09/25/03/SL 1384222v]/68380.001
11. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that the documents annexed
as Exhibit "B" were received by Westwood Hills Associates. It is denied that these invoices
represent the initial agreed upon scope of work and the extra work. To the contrary, the initial
agreed upon scope of work was never fully completed, although Westwood paid the entire
contractual amount. Additionally, no extra-contractual work was authorized by Westwood and,
therefore, no amounts could be due and owing.
12. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that the total of the invoices
submitted for alleged extra-contractual work is $12,471.25. However, it is specifically denied
that this extra work was either authorized by Westwood Hills Associates or was performed by
Melham Associates in a good and workmanlike manner. This work was not performed at the
special insistence of Westwood Hills. To the contrary, no extra-contractual work was authorized
and both the contractual work and alleged extra-contractual work were not completed in a good
and workmanlike manner. Thus, no amount is due and owing.
13. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that Westwood Hills
Associates paid Melham $12,900 representing the agreed upon contract price. It is also admitted
that Westwood Hills Associates has refused to pay any amounts in excess of the contractual
amount. It is denied that Westwood Hills Associates has any further liability to Melham
Associates for any alleged extra-contractual work. No extra-contractual work was authorized by
Westwood Hills Associates and, therefore, it is not responsible to reimburse Melham for the
same.
14. Denied. It is denied that there is a principal balance due and owing of
$12,471.25. To the contrary, no money is due and owing as no extra-contractual work was
requested and/or authorized by Westwood Hills Associates.
09/25/03/SL 1 384222v 1 /68380.001
15. Denied. It is denied that Westwood has accepted all work performed by
Melham. To the contrary, Westwood Hills Associates has indicated its displeasure with Melham
Associates' work through its opposition to the mechanics' lien claim which has now been stricken
as well as discussions by and between Don Erwin and John Melham and Jason regarding the
deficiencies noted in paragraph 9 of this Answer.
16. Denied. It is denied that Westwood has never provided Melham with any
notices regarding deficient work and it is further denied that no notice has been provided
regarding inaccurate invoices. To the contrary, Westwood Hills Associates has voiced its
displeasure with Melham's work and deficiencies thereof and has also continually stated that the
invoices were inaccurate as no extra-contractual work had been authorized.
17. Denied. The allegations set forth in Paragraph 17 of the Complaint are
denied as legal conclusions.
18. Denied. The allegations set forth in Paragraph 18 of the Complaint are
denied as legal conclusions.
19. Denied. The allegations set forth in Paragraph 19 of the Complaint are
denied as legal conclusions.
WHEREFORE, defendant Westwood Hills Associates respectfully requests this
Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor dismissing this claim along with whatever further
relief this Court deems just and equitable.
COUNT II - IN THE ALTERNATIVE:
UNJUST ENRICHMENT
20. Defendant incorporates herein the averments of Paragraphs 1 through 19
above as if set forth fully herein.
21. Denied. It is denied that the value of the services ordered by Westwood
which were performed by Melham at the special insistence of Westwood is $12,471.25. To the
09/25/03/SLI 384222v1/68380.001
contrary, Westwood did not order, authorize or insist on Melham's performing any
extra-contractual work. Thus, no amount can be due and owing.
22. Denied. It is denied that the rates and prices charged by Melham are fair and
reasonable, that these are prices normally charged by Melham, and that these were the prices that
Westwood Hills Associates agreed to pay. After reasonable investigation, defendant Westwood
Hills Associates is without sufficient information to form a belief as the truth of the averments
that the rates and prices for the alleged extra services are fair and reasonable and are the prices
normally charged by Melham. Additionally, Westwood Hills Associates never agreed to pay for
any extra-contractual work.
23. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that the services provided by
Melham Associates were incorporated into the Westwood Hills subdivision project. However, it
is denied that any of these services were extra-contractual in nature or authorized to be
performed outside of the contract. It is also denied that the services added substantial value to
the subdivision project. To the contrary, the services have caused damage to the subdivision
project and forced Westwood Hills Associates to seek another engineering firm to correct the
deficiencies.
24. Denied. The averments in Paragraph 24 are denied as a legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
25. Denied. The averments in Paragraph 25 are denied as a legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
WHEREFORE, defendant Westwood Hills Associates respectfully requests this
Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor dismissing this claim along with whatever further
relief this Court deems just and equitable.
09/25/03/SLl 384222vi/68380.001
COUNT III - VIOLATION OF'rHE
PENNSYLVANIA CONTRACTOR AND
SUBCONTRACTOR PAYMENT ACT, 73 P.S.
§ 501, ET SEQ.
26. Defendant incorporates herein by reference the averments of Paragraphs 1
through 25 above as if set forth fully herein.
27. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 27 are legal conclusions to
which no response is required.
28. Admitted in part. Denied in part. It is admitted that more than 30 days have
passed since Melham Associates has sent any invoice to Westwood Hills Associates. It is denied
that the invoices represent services that were requested by Westwood Hills Associates. To the
contrary, no extra-contractual work was requested, authorized, ordered or in any manner sought
by Westwood Hills Associates.
29. Denied. It is denied that Westwood has never given Melham any notices
regarding deficient service or inaccurate invoices. To the contrary, Westwood Hills Associates
has notified Melham Associates of deficient work and has continually disputed the invoices both
through the mechanics' lien process and through this litigation.
30. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 30 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
31. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 31 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
32. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 32 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
33. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 33 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
09/25/03/SLt 384222v1/68380.001
34. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 34 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
35. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 35 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
36. Denied. The averments set forth in Paragraph 36 are legal conclusion to
which no response is required.
WHEREFORE, defendant Westwood Hills Associates respectfully requests this
Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor dismissing this claim along with whatever further
relief this Court deems just and equitable.

its attorneys Stevens & Lee and sets forth the within new matter as follows:

granted because no contract existed for any extra-contractual services and the services
that were performed by Melham at Westwood Hills subdivision were deficient and not
performed in a good and workmanlike manner.
2. Plaintiffs complaint is barred by the doctrine of unclean hands because
Melham Associates performed work deficiently.
Plaintiffs complaint is barred due to failure of consideration.
4. Plaintiffs complaint is subject to a set-off for deficient work performed
under the contract.
09/25/03/SLI 384222v1/68380.001
COUNTERCLAIM - BREACH OF CONTRACT
AND NOW COMES Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff Westwood Hills
Associates, LLC ("Westwood Hills"), by and through its attorneys, Stevens & Lee, and sets forth
the within Counterclaim and avers as follows:
The parties entered into an oral agreement whereby Melham agreed to
complete all engineering and surveying work for Phase V, including, but not limited to,
engineering work, surveying work, preparation and submissions of plans for approval by various
agencies, submissions of plans for permitting, keeping NPDES permits active and valid,
evaluation of construction costs and review of proposals submitted to construct based upon
Melham's scope of work, and the performance of these obligations on a specific time schedule.
2. In return, Westwood Hills agreed to pay $12,900 for this work, half payable
up front and half when all plan submissions and approvals/recordation were obtained.
3. Westwood Hills has paid $12,900 to Melham in connection with the contract.
4. Melham failed to perform the contractual work in a good and workmanlike
manner.
5. Melham's deficiencies included, but were not limited to:
a. technical deficiencies with the submitted plans that had to be rectified before
township approval could be obtained,
b. the work that was performed did not meet the agreed schedule,
c. the plans as submitted were inaccurate in that they contained:
1. incorrect lot numbers,
2. incorrect lot size calculations,
3. incorrect elevations,
4. incorrect man hole elevations,
5. incorrect catch basin elevations,
09/25/03/SLl 384222v 1/68380.001
6. incorrect grading plans.
d. Melham allowed the NPDES permit to lapse, causing delay.
6. The defects in Melham's performance caused damage to Westwood Hills
insofar as Westwood Hills had to incur additional expenses to bring the man holes and catch
basins up to the incorrect grade and has had to hire a new surveyor/engineer to complete the
work that Melham performed deficiently.
7. Melham was informed of these deficiencies and given opportunity to correct
them.
When Melham failed to correct its defects, and began to submit invoices for
work that was included in the flat-fee contract, Westwood Hills hired a new surveyor/engineer to
take over and fix Melham's mistakes and complete the project.
9. Thus, a valid and binding oral agreement was entered into between the
parties and Westwood Hills performed fully under that agreement.
10. Melham has failed to perform under the agreement.
11. As a result of Melham's failure to perform, Westwood Hills has been
damaged and will continue to be damaged by having to hire another surveyor/engineer and from
incurring increased construction costs.

09/25/03/SLl 384222v1/68380.001
WHEREFORE, Defendant/Counterclaim Plaintiff Westwood Hills Associates,
LLC respectfully requests that this Honorable Court enter judgment in its favor and against
Melham Associates for an amount exceeding $25,000, exclusive of interests and costs.

PLAINTIFF'S REPLY TO NEW MATTER AND
ANSWER TO COUNTERCLAIM WITH NEW MATTER
REPLY TO NEW MATTER,
Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendant did not order Plaintiff to
perform work outside the specified contractual services set forth in Exhibit "A" to the Plaintiffs
Complaint. On the contrary the Defendant did order Plaintiff to perform services outside the
scope of the original agreement which services are set forth more specifically in the Plaintiff's
invoices attached to Plaintiffs Complaint at Exhibit "B". By way of further response it is
specifically denied that Plaintiff performed any of its work in a deficient manner. On the
contrary Plaintiff performed all items of work in a good and workmanlike manner. By way of
further response, the Defendant never objected to Plaintiff s invoices and did not provide any
timely notice to Plaintiff that it did not intend to fully pay Plaintiff s invoices due to any alleged
deficiencies in Plaintiff s work.
2. Denied. The averments of paragraph 2 constitute conclusions of law to which no
responsive pleading is required.
3. Denied. The averments of paragraph 3 constitute conclusion of law to which no
responsive pleading is required. To the extent that an answer is judicially deemed required, the
Plaintiff denies each and every factual averment.
4. Denied. The averments of paragraph 4 constitute conclusions of law to which no
responsive pleading is required.
ANSWER TO COUNTERCLAIM
1. Denied. It is specifically denied that the scope of work under the agreement
between the Plaintiff and Defendant are as alleged in paragraph 1 of the Counterclaim. By way
of further answer, the scope of work which the Plaintiff agreed to perform are set forth in the
document attached to the Plaintiff's Complaint as Exhibit "A".
2. Denied. The payment terms set forth in paragraph 2 are denied. By way of
further response under the terms of the agreement between the parties as set forth in the
document attached to the Plaintiff's Complaint as Exhibit "A" the Defendant was expressly
required to pay the Plaintiff upon receipt of each of the Plaintiff's monthly billings which the
Defendant failed and refused to do.
3. Admitted.
4. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff failed to perform its work in a
good and workmanlike manner. By way of further answer the Plaintiff performed all of the work
for which it submitted invoices in a good and workmanlike mariner.
5. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff failed to perform any of the
work for which it submitted invoices in a less than good and workmanlike manner. By way of
further answer it is specifically denied that any of the items alleged to have been performed in a
deficient manner as alleged in paragraph 5 (a.) through (d.) were performed in a deficient
manner. On the contrary, Plaintiff performed each and every item of work in a good and
workmanlike manner. By way of further answer it is specifically denied that the Plaintiff caused
any delay in the permitting process inasmuch as this work was never to be performed by the
Plaintiff. Any and all alleged delays were caused by the actions or inactions of the Defendant
which delayed the process.
2
6. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff failed to perform its work in a
good and workmanlike manner or that the Plaintiff caused the Defendant any amount of
damages. By way of further answer Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference its answer to
paragraph 5 and its New Matter which follows.
Denied. It is specifically denied that the Defendant advised the Plaintiff of any
deficiencies that required correction by the Plaintiff.
8. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff failed to correct any deficiencies
in its work inasmuch as there were no deficiencies in the work performed and invoiced by the
Plaintiff and the Defendant never provided the Plaintiff with any notice of deficiencies which
formed the basis of the Defendant's failure and refusal to pay the Plaintiff's invoices in a timely
manner.
9. Denied. The averments of paragraph 9 constitute conclusions of law to which no
responsive pleading is required. To the extent that an answer is judicially deemed required, the
Plaintiff denies each and every factual averment.
10. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff has failed to perform under the
agreement. By way of further response the Plaintiff has performed all of its obligations in a good
and workmanlike manner.
11. Denied. It is specifically denied that the Plaintiff failed to perform in any manner
as alleged in paragraph 11. By way of further answer it is further denied that the Defendant was
required or had to hire another surveyor/engineer as a result of any failure on the part of the
Plaintiff. By way of further response the Plaintiff fully performed all of its work in a good and
workmanlike manner.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Melham Associates, PC, respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss Defendant's Counterclaim with prejudice, costs and attorney's fees.
NEW MATTER TO COUNTERCLAIM
12. Plaintiff incorporates herein by reference the averments of its Complaint, Reply to
New Matter and Answer to Counterclaim as if set forth fully herein.
13. Defendant's Counterclaim fails to state a cause of action upon which relief can be
granted.
14. Other than a letter sent by Defendant several months after it received Plaintiff's
last invoice alleging an incorrect elevation for a catch basin, which allegation is untrue and
therefore denied, the Defendant never gave the Plaintiff any notice of any alleged deficiencies in
its work to support its failure and refusal to pay the Plaintiffs invoices.
15. Any and all damages alleged by the Defendant were caused by the actions and
inactions of the Defendant and/or persons or entities other than the Plaintiff.
16. The Defendant continually promised to make payment to the Plaintiff for the extra
work set forth in the Plaintiff s invoices until the time when the Plaintiff was forced to file a
Complaint to collect passed due payment.
17. Any and all delays in the completion of the Defendant's project were caused by
the actions and inactions of the Defendant and/or the Defendants agents and not caused by the
Plaintiff.
18. The Defendant failed to mitigate its damages, to the extent that any damages have
been suffered.
19. It is believed and therefore averred that the Defendant has failed and refused to
fully pay other contractors who performed work at the request of the Defendant on the Project.
4
20. The Defendant's Counterclaim is barred by the doctrine of promissory estoppel.
21. The Defendant's Counterclaim is barred by the doctrines of waiver and estoppel.
22. The Plaintiff was justified in discontinuing any further work on the Project due to
the Defendant's breach of the agreement to timely pay Plaintiff invoices and Defendant's
failure and refusal to pay the invoices of the Plaintiff in full.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, Melham Associates, PC, respectfully requests this Honorable
Court to dismiss the Defendant's Counterclaim with prejudice, costs and attorney's fees.
