A波士顿承包商及其担保人正在与联邦法院作斗争，谁应该为数百万美元的修理模块化公寓项目而挑选标签，这是错误的。

费城拱Insurance is suing The Graphic Builders in U.S. District Court in Boston, arguing it should be freed from its obligations under an $8.6-million performance bond on a modular apartment project that had extensive defects that needed to be fixed.

反过来，该案件又突出了当项目不好时围绕性能债券的棘手问题，以及在距建筑工地数百英里的工厂中搅动预制部分时，模块化构造涉及的潜在质量控制风险。

冲突涉及波士顿查尔斯敦社区的171个单位公寓项目。

Arch "is entitled to a judgment declaring it is exonerated and discharged from any and all liability arising from the performance bond,” lawyers for the surety contend in a federal court filing.

Arch在投诉中声称，Tocci Building Corp.的全资子公司TGB违反了几种绩效债券条件。

In particular, TGB went ahead and spent $3.1 million repairing and remediating multiple issues with the modular units, and then sought payment from Arch under the bond.

相反，TGB应该允许根据债券条款规定的拱门来评估情况，并有可能吸引另一个承包商来代替模块化公司。

Arch also contends TGB never completely cut ties with the modular subcontractor, as required under the performance bond.

TGB向后射击，认为与绩效问题有关的债券（例如承包商失败或无法完成项目）的拱门使用的规定不当，以基于完全不同的情况拒绝其主张。

TGB辩称，它提出了赔偿索赔，要求赔偿损害赔偿，该债券的规定与无关的绩效问题有关。

它还挥舞着信件，显示它已向基于魁北克的模块化分包商RCM发出了默认通知。

For its part, TGB has filed suit against RCM, arguing something went terribly wrong with the modular apartment project requiring extensive work and repairs.

Boston-based Berkeley Investments, a major development firm in the city, bought the Graphic Arts building then hired Tocci in 2017 to convert the historic structure into 46 loft-style apartments. In addition, the project also called for building an attached four-story building with another 125 units featuring prefabricated, modular sections.

矩形模块化盒的长度从60到65英尺，每个重量为30,000至35,000磅。

然而，由于模块化分包商RCM的一系列涉嫌制造和安装错误，TGB认为，该公寓项目直到2019年9月才能延迟大约九个月。

就其部分而言，TGB于去年9月与RCM进行仲裁，几周后在萨福克郡高等法院提起诉讼，并提出了其对低标准工作的指控。

TGB向美国仲裁协会提交的文件显示，提出的问题的第一个提示是在2018年4月，当时RCM搅动了预制的模块化单元“没有批准的商店图纸”。

然后，RCM在交付模块时迟到了10周。当分包商开始组装模块化单位时，TGB和项目所有者很快注意到它们“有缺陷”。

The modular units were missing code-compliant and functioning mechanical, electrical, plumbing and fire suppression systems, TGB states in its court filing.

这些问题还扩展到了建筑物的外部，在交付的模块化部分RCM之间存在“大小的实质性变化”，并且还与分包商在安装过程中的错误有关的其他问题。同时，根据法庭文件，整个项目都困扰着265个漏水的窗户。

While RCM met with TGB executives in September, 2018 to work out a solution to the issues, the subcontractor “failed to complete the remediation plan and was unable to produce a warranty from the window manufacturer,” the contractor claims in its filing.

“TGB is seeking indemnification from the Surety for these damages arising out of RCM’s breach of contract,” lawyers for TGB write.

向后推迟，RCM已向联邦地方法院提出了一项动议，要求驳回TGB的申诉，认为双方已经按照其合同要求进行仲裁。

但是，在承认仲裁会谈的同时，TGB反驳说，它仍然希望在联邦法院维持其案件，以确认在仲裁员发出决定后可能会赢得任何裁决。

Arch，TGB和RCM的律师均拒绝在记录下发言。
