<br />endeavors to complete each project on time and within budget. CGA is proud to assert that CGA has not
<br />failed to provide products, perform services, or furnished goods for which we have been contracted.
<br />In the last five (5) years, CGA has been involved in the following litigation:
<br />1. James A. Cummings, Inc. vs. Calvin, Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 06‐019973(18) in the 17th
<br />Judicial Court, in and for Broward County. This case which was filed in 2006 was related to the Palm
<br />Beach County Airport Parking Structure. The case was settled in August 2007.

<br />Department of Transportation, City of Pembroke Pines, William J. Russo, Natasha Russo, and Calvin,
<br />Giordano & Associates, Inc., Case No: 0601924(12) in the 17th Judicial Court, in and for Broward
<br />County. CGA was a co‐defendant in a wrongful death action brought by the deceased’s relatives. This
<br />case was filed on or about June 30, 2006, and was settled to the satisfaction of both parties in
<br />September 2008.

<br />contractor, numerous subcontractors and all the design team. The condominium association
<br />voluntarily dismissed its claim against Calvin, Giordano February 2011.
<br />4. Walnut Creek Community Development District vs. Standard Pacific of South Florida, GP, Inc., Et Al,
<br />Case No. CACE10019353. Suit was filed May 4, 2010. The case concerns the failure of an HDPE
<br />drainage system and is in the early stages of discovery. The other parties include the developer, the
<br />pipe manufacturer and the contractor which is defunct but which may have insurance coverage. Our
