Description

The Village of Cairo contracted with the Bodine Contracting Company for the installation of a comprehensive sewage and treatment facility. The system was designed in two sections: an interceptor sewer and a sewage collection system. Thus, each project was the subject of a separate bid and separate agreement. Bodine was low bidder on each project and was awarded the work for each by separate contract. A term of both, the Interceptor Contract and the Collection Contract, was that Bodine complete the work within 360 days after receipt of the notice to proceed or of a written work order. Work commenced on June 11, 1981, but neither project was completed within the time defined by contract. A dispute arose between the principals: Bodine contended that the progress payments due on each project had not been met and notified Cairo that unless received within the times specified, the contracts would be terminated. Bodine ceased all work on the projects on October 8, 1982, and on October 11, 1982, Bodine advised the Mayor of Cairo that the Collection Contract was terminated. On that same day the mayor gave notice to Bodine that both contracts would be terminated pursuant to contract provisions, and on October 22, 1982, Cairo terminated tem. The principals, each, asserted the right to termination under specific provisions of the contracts. A term of the Interceptor Contract allowed the contractor to terminate, upon a seven-day notice, if the certified pay estimates were not met after ten days of presentment. A term of each contract allowed the owner Village of Cairo - to terminate upon ten days notice for failure of the contractor to correct the conditions cited as the basis for the termination.
