L&L Painting Co., Inc. v. Contract Dispute Resolution Board of the City of New York, 926 N.E.2d 1228 (N.Y. 2010)
14 N.Y.3d 827; 900 N.Y.S.2d 723
Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones Concur
L&L Painting Co., Inc. v. Contract Dispute Resolution Board of the City of New York
Opinion
OPINION OF THE COURT
Memorandum.
The order of the Appellate Division should be affirmed, with costs. The City of New York Contract Dispute Resolution Board rationally determined that a discrepancy between a diagram and notes on the contract drawing that is the subject of this dispute created an ambiguity in the contract terms, which petitioner L&L Painting Co., Inc. failed to clarify prior to bidding as the contract required. Therefore, the Board rationally disapproved the claim for additional compensation.
Chief Judge Lippman and Judges Ciparick, Graffeo, Read, Smith, Pigott and Jones concur.
On review of submissions pursuant to section 500.11 of the Rules of the Court of Appeals (22 NYCRR 500.11), order affirmed, with costs, in a memorandum.
