Cleveland Construction, Inc. v. Ohio Pubic Employees Retirement System No. 07AP-574, 2008 Ohio 1630
Appellant, Ohio Public Employees Retirement System (“PERS”) is the owner of an office tower project (the “Project”) in Columbus, Ohio. PERS entered into a $6.3 million interior trades contract with Appellee, Cleveland Construction, Inc. (“CCI”) to build portions of the $90 million office tower. The jury in the lower court case found that PERS materially breached its contract with CCI by failing to properly schedule and coordinate the project work.
