Rozakis v. City of Sacramento
Plaintiff Emmanuel Rozakis entered into a contract with defendant City of Sacramento (the City) to paint the Old Sacramento parking garage. Rozakis performed extra work not covered by his bid and sought payment from the City. When the City refused to pay him, Rozakis brought suit for breach of contract. After a court trial, judgment was entered in favor of the City. The trial court found Rozakis had not obtained the necessary approval authorizing the extra work.
On appeal, Rozakis contends the trial court erred in interpreting various provisions of the City Code. He contends that both Lori Fox, the project manager for the City, and John Crosswhite (Crosswhite), the consultant hired as construction manager, had authority to approve the extra work. Rozakis further contends the judgment must be reversed because the trial court did not rule on his objections to the statement of decision.
We find the trial court properly interpreted the relevant documents governing authority to approve extra work and its statement of decision was sufficient to resolve the outstanding issues. Accordingly, we shall affirm.
