Key Points: 
  • An arbitrator subsequently found that the subcontractor was unlicensed in California and thus defaulted under the subcontract terms, despite the fact Arch underwrote the subcontractor performance bond.
  • Yet, as Pinner alleged in its case, Arch still unjustifiably refused to honor the full payment on the bond.
  • In its lawsuit, Pinner alleges that an Arch manager told Pinner it could bring in substitute subcontractors to finish the work on HVAC-plumbing for a branch of a California public hospital on which Pinner was working.
  • But then Arch allegedly repudiated that representation and used the substitution of the new subcontractors as the basis to deny Pinner's claim on the defaulting subcontractor's insurance bond.
