Companies hit with breach of contract suit seeking $30K for materials

An insulation company is suing a construction company, claiming it hasn't paid for materials supplied.

General Insulation Co. filed a lawsuit July 15 in the Cook County Circuit Court against Flo-Tech Mechanical Systems Inc. and Hudson Insurance Co., alleging breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

According to the complaint, General Insulation supplied materials to Parkside Insulation between Aug. 16, 2012 and July 16, 2013. Parkside was subcontracted by Vario Mechanical LLC, which was in turn subcontracted by Flo-Tech Mechanical to do work at William Jones College Preparatory High School for Walsh Construction Co. II LLC.

The plaintiff claims the contract between Walsh Construction and Flo-Tech involved a bond that Hudson Insurance served as surety. General Insulation claims it has not been paid for the materials supplied and accuses the defendants of breach of contract and unjust enrichment.

General Insulation is seeking the more than $30,500 it claims is owed, as well as damages and attorney's fees. It is being represented by Christopher Keleher of Keleher Appellate Law Group LLC in Chicago, Steven R. Merican in Woodbridge and Nevada attorney Kevin H. Snyder,
