<br />Litigation Statement
<br />Customer satisfaction is CGA's primary objective for every project undertaken by the firm. As such,
<br />CGA endeavors to complete each project on time and within budget. CGA is proud to assert that CGA
<br />has not failed to provide products, perform services, or furnished goods for which we have been
<br />contracted.
<br />
<br />In the last five (5) years CGA has been involved in the following litigation:
<br />
<br />1. James A. Cummings, Inc. vs. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 06-019973(18) in the
<br />17th Judicial Court, in and for Broward County. This case which was filed in 2006 was related
<br />to the Palm Beach County Airport Parking Structure. The case was settled in August 2007.
<br />
<br />2. Yvette Lorenzo, personal representative of the estate and survivors of Orestes Lorenzo vs.
<br />Florida Department of Transportation, City of Pembroke Pines, William J. Russo, Natasha Russo,
<br />and Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 0601924(12) in the 17th Judicial Court, in and
<br />for Broward County. CGA was a co-defendant in a wrongful death action brought by the
<br />deceased's relatives. This case was filed on or about June 30, 2006, and was settled to the
<br />satisfaction of both parties in September 2008.
<br />
<br />3. Vue Condominium Association, Inc. vs. Vue Fort Lauderdale, L.L.C., ET AL, Case No.
<br />CACE09012422 .Suit was filed March 3, 2009. This is a typical condominium construction defect
<br />suit involving the developer, contractor, numerous subcontractors and all the design team. The
<br />condominium association voluntarily dismissed its claim against CGA in February 2011.
<br />
<br />4. Walnut Creek Community Development District vs. Standard Pacific of South Florida, GP, Inc., Et
<br />AI, Case No. CACEI0019353. Suit was filed May 4, 2010. The case concerns the failure of an
<br />HDPE drainage system and is in the early stages of discovery. The other parties include the
<br />developer, the pipe manufacturer and the contractor which is defunct but which may have
<br />insurance coverage. Our understanding is that the problems are primarily the result of defective
<br />manufacture of the HDPE pipe although design and construction deficiencies also are alleged.
