GAUGHEN, Defendant No. 01-1152 CIVIL TERM CIVIL ACTION - LAW JURY TRIAL DEMANDED ANSWER, NEW MATTER AND COUNTERCLAIM OF DEFENDANT THOMAS W. GAUGHEN TO PLAINTIFF'S COMPLAINT AND NOW, comes the Defendant Thomas W, Ganghen (hereinafter "Ganghen") and files the following Answer, New Matter and Counterclaim to PlaintifFs complaint as follows. 1. Admitted upon information and belief. 2. Admitted, with the exception that the Defendant did not execute any agreements as "Tom Gaughen Real Estate." 3. Denied as a legal conclusion requiring no response. 4. Denied as stated. The writing attached as Exhibit A is not a separate contract between the parties. Rather, it is a statement of value directed to Hampden Township referring to work intended to be the subject ora municipal performance agreement for bonding purposes. The work referred to in that writing is a part of the work to be performed under the agreement dated March 6, 1997. 5. Admitted that what is attached as Exhibit B to PlaintifFs complaint is the March 6, 1997 agreement between the parties for a fixed price of $826,433.34. 6. Admitted and denied. Admitted that during the course of the work, Gaughen directed Diller by written change order to perform certain extra work. Denied that all extra work claimed by Diller was ever authorized by Gaughen. It is also denied that the value of authorized extra work by Gaughen increased the contract value to 1,081,236.21. 7. Denied. It is specifically denied that Diller performed all of its work in a workmanlike manner. To the contrary, much of Diller's work was substandard, defective and not in accord with contract specifications. Much of the work performed by Diller has to be redone. For all those reasons stated in Defendant's Counterclaim, below, Diller is not entitled to the payment requested, but rather is indebted to Gaughen for the cost to complete and/or repair work. 8. Admitted, subject to audit, that Ganghen has paid Diller $877,867.31 without retainage. Denied that Gaughen owes Diller any contract balance. To the contrary, for all those reasons stated in Gaughen's Counterclaim, no further balance is due Diller. It is further denied that the statement of account attached as Exhibit C reflects any amounts owed Diller. 9. Denied in that the contract between the parties speaks for itself. 10. By way of response, Gaughen incorporates his responses to paragraphs 1-9 as though the same were fully set forth herein at length. Further, Gaughen specifically denies that any payments have been in arrears and/or that any further payment is due. Wherefore, the Defendant Gaughen respectfully requests that judgment be entered in his favor and against the Plaintiff Diller, and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and proper. NEW MATTER 11. Gaughen hereby incorporates its averments to paragraphs 1-10 as though the same were fully set forth herein at length. 12. Plaintiff fails to state any cause of action against Gaughen. 13. Plaintiff has failed to satisfy all conditions precedent to receiving any other payments under its contract with Gaughen. 14. Plaintiff is not entitled to any further payments from Gaughen, as Plaintiff is in breach of its contract with Gaughen. 15. If any payments are due Plaintiff, said payments being denied by Gaughen, any such amounts are not due by virtue of any offsets Gaughen has for defective and/or contract work that did not meet specifications. 16. Not all change order work claimed by Diller is compensable, as certain work was never approved by Gaughen. 17. Gaughen is not liable for payments to Diller for work Diller performed in order to correct defective and/or non-conforming work. Diller's claim for payment is barred for all those reasons stated in Ganghen's 18. Counterclaim. Wherefore, the Defendant Ganghen respectfully requests that judgment be entered in his favor and against the Plaintiff Diller and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and appropriate. COUNTERCLAIM 19. Gaughen hereby incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-18 as though the same were fully set forth herein at length. 20. The contract between the parties is as reflected by Exhibit B to Plaintiffs Complaint and as modified by approved change orders between Gaughen and Diller. 21. All work to be performed by Diller was to be in accord with the contract between the parties and in a good and workmanlike manner. 22. Despite numerous oral and written notices by Gaughen to Diller, Diller failed, refused and outright failed to perform many aspects of its contract in accord with the contract between the parties and in a good and workmanlike manner. 23. The particulars in which Diller performed defective work and/or work not in accordance with the contract and/or not in a workmanlike manner, include, but are not limited to, the following: a. the retaining wall behind Buildings 26 and 27 and related work was made necessary by virtue of defective and/or non-conforming work by Diller; b. parking lot number 26 needs to be m-built, lines painted, and repairs made to damaged landscaping; c. parking lot number 22 needs to be re-built, lines painted, and repairs made to damaged landscaping; d. the grade at buildings 27 and 28 need to be established at their proper grade; e. broken inlets need to be repaired and landscaping needs to be re- established; f. topsoil needs to be replaced where unsuitable material was placed by Diller; g. certain road radii need to be removed, excavated, bases re-built, binder replaced, topcoats placed and sealed; h. certain utility conduits need to be excavated, lowered, sealed and encased and associated landscaping reestablished; certain areas require the replacement of topsoil, re-grading and re- reseeding; O. Gaughen; p. q. damage to the property caused by Diller must be repaired or reimbursed to drainage; t. the storm inlet at the rental office on Louisa Lane must be straightened; stone driveway to the farmhouse must be removed and suitable topsoil placed and landscaping reestablished; r. unsuitable material place as topsoil must be removed and replaced with suitable topsoil; the end of Building 1 must be regraded and topsoil replaced for proper the rear of Buildings 2 and 3 must be regraded and topsoil replaced for proper drainage; landscaping; j. Warren Way from its intersection at Louisa Lane at building 23 and the bend of Warren Way must have grades corrected; k. Lenker Street extended beginning at Building 20 to the farmhouse and the farmhouse parking lot must have grades corrected; 1. stone ballast and waste material at the entrance to the Brambles must be removed and replaced with topsoil; m. buried debris, trees stumps in the base of the Brambles pond and from other unauthorized areas must be removed and landscaping reestablished; debris deposited in the battlefield must be removed and grades and u. Utilities at the rear of Building 18 must be lowered, the grade reestablished and topsoil replaced for proper drainage. 24. Each of the above stated items have caused and continue to cause Gaughen damages for which the Plaintiff Diller is liable. 25. Each of the above stated items, in additional others too numerous to mention, constitute material breaches by Diller under the contract between the parties. 26. Although a precise estimate of the costs of breaches and damages by Diller cannot be stated at this time, Gaughen estimates that the amount of this Counterclaim exceeds $400,000. Wherefore, the Defendant/Counterclaimant Gaughen hereby requests that judgment in excess of $400,000 be entered in its favor and against the Plaintiff Diller, plus interest, costs of suit and for such other and further relief as this Court deems just and appropriate.
