CITY OF SALISBURY CASE AGAINST CONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS GROUP, INC. FINALLY CONCLUDED

CITY OF SALISBURY CASE AGAINST CONSTRUCTION DYNAMICS GROUP, INC.

FINALLY CONCLUDED

Maryland’s highest Court has denied the request for an appeal by Construction Dynamics Group, Inc. (CDG) related to the construction management of the Salisbury Wastewater Treatment Plant project.

As construction managers, CDG provided the City with the supervision of the Wastewater Treatment Plant construction from 2005 to 2009.  The failure of the Wastewater Treatment Plant to operate properly and achieve State mandated performance for the removal of nitrogen had caused the City to file a lawsuit seeking recovery of monies paid to CDG for improper billings and failure to perform under the terms of its contract with the City.

After a jury trial in the Wicomico County Circuit Court, the City was awarded $1,968,417.43.

CDG subsequently appealed the case to Maryland’s intermediate appellate court, the Court of Special Appeals in Annapolis.  This Appellate Court affirmed the verdict in favor of the City.

CDG then requested the Court of Appeals hear an appeal of the case.  The Court of Appeals denied the CDG request for an appeal.  CDG has paid the amount of the verdict to the City of Salisbury.

The City has recovered over $13,000,000.00 as a result of litigation about the Wastewater Treatment Plant construction project.
