Tutor-Saliba Corp. v. Arch Ins. Co. CA2/8
This appeal concerns a contractor’s recovery under a performance bond. The surety company, Arch Insurance Company (Arch), issued the bond to a subcontractor for its work on a major construction project managed by Tutor-Saliba Corporation (Tutor). When the subcontractor defaulted, Arch tendered a replacement subcontractor to Tutor. Tutor rejected the tender and completed the work itself. Tutor then sued Arch for the reasonable cost of that work.
After a bench trial, the trial court concluded that Arch’s tender was inadequate, and awarded damages to Tutor. Arch now appeals and argues that the trial court erred in (1) concluding that Tutor was not required to provide proof of a valid contractor’s license, (2) calculating the reasonable cost of completing the subcontractor’s work, and (3) finding Arch liable for the cost of repairing drains on the site. We affirm.
