# Campbell County Board Moves to Sue GCE

The Campbell County school board in Tennessee unanimously authorized legal action against GCE Construction over delays to an elementary school gym and cafeteria renovation. The board cited alleged contract and warranty breaches, disputed payment and schedule claims, floor damage, and unpaid subcontractors. It also directed officials to obtain a detailed assessment of deficiencies and contact the project’s performance-bond provider, bringing the contractor’s performance record, remediation scope, and bond process into focus for public construction procurement teams.

- The board’s planned deficiency assessment may help establish the scope of corrective work and support decisions about remedies under the contract and warranty.
- Contact with the performance-bond provider makes the bond and surety response a relevant part of the project’s remediation process.
- Public owners and construction contractors should retain clear documentation of schedules, payment claims, reported defects, warranty obligations, and subcontractor payment status when disputes arise.
