Defendant 2: education and Sports Bureau of Rencheng District, Jining City, Shandong Province defendant 3: Renxing Group Co., Ltd. (II) facts and reasons
On August 5, 2019, the plaintiff won the bid of Rencheng district urban and rural basic education capacity improvement and guarantee system project (EPC + F) (the "case involved project") through public bidding, and signed the construction project contract ("general contract") with the defendant on August 30, 2019. The scope of project contracting of the case involved in the project is as follows: project capital financing, investment Professional design, decoration engineering and general coordination of design covering the above design services, procurement and installation of teaching and research equipment; Build a call center serving the second defendant and 34 schools. Item 2, paragraph 11, Article 3 of the special terms of the general contract stipulates that the plaintiff shall send a notice to the defendant I and the supervisor within 3 days after the project involved meets the conditions for preliminary acceptance. The defendant I and the supervisor shall organize acceptance within 15 days after receiving the notice. After the test is qualified, the defendant and the supervisor shall sign the acceptance form. If the defendant 1 and the supervisor fail to sign the acceptance form within 5 days after passing the acceptance, it shall be deemed that the defendant 1 and the supervisor recognize that the system has passed the acceptance. Paragraph 1 of Article 5 of the special terms stipulates that the project involved in the case is constructed in three phases, and the repayment will be made in four years after the completion of each phase. Within 90 days after the completion of each phase of the project (subject to the signing date on the completion acceptance form), the defendant shall pay 50% of the project amount actually completed in the current period and confirmed by all parties to the plaintiff. Paragraph 3 of Article 5 of the special terms stipulates that if a party to the contract fails to perform its contractual obligations or fails to perform its obligations in accordance with the agreement, resulting in losses to the other party, the breaching party shall pay liquidated damages to the non breaching party at 2% of the subject matter of the contract.
In September 2019, the plaintiff, the defendant 1 and the defendant 3 jointly signed the agreement, and the defendant 3 assumed joint and several liability guarantee for the payment obligations of the defendant 1 under the general contract.
Although the defendant I signed the general contract with the plaintiff as the nominal employer, in the actual process of carrying out the project involved in the case, the defendant II actually acted as the employer and communicated with the plaintiff about the specific problems of the project involved in the case, such as receiving the design documents provided by the plaintiff, instructing the plaintiff to start construction, organizing the acceptance of the project involved in the case, etc.
In September 2019, the plaintiff submitted the design drawings of "construction and installation engineering design effect drawings, construction drawings, wireless network and campus network" and construction and installation engineering design drawings to the defendant 2 and Shandong Dongfang Supervision Consulting Co., Ltd. (the "supervisor").
During the period from November 1, 2019 to November 5, 2019, the defendant 2 and the supervisor sealed and issued the work confirmation contact form, indicating that the phase I school has access conditions and can start installation. The defendant 1 and the defendant 2 plaintiff actively carried out the construction of the project involved in the case according to the instructions of the defendant 1 and the defendant 2.
In June 2020, after the project involved in the case met the conditions for preliminary acceptance, the plaintiff provided the second defendant with the application form for project completion acceptance for acceptance. In August 2020, the second defendant sealed and gave feedback. In September 2020, the defendants 1 and 2 applied for the experts appointed by the government procurement center to check and accept the teaching and research equipment, installation and supporting maintenance works of 13 schools in the first phase of the project with the defendants 1, 2 and relevant personnel of each school. The expert group considered that the first phase of the project was qualified, agreed to pass the acceptance, and signed the acceptance opinion. At the same time, all schools and school leaders also sealed and confirmed in the list of information construction of each school. Moreover, in September 2020, the experts and supervisors also signed and sealed the letter of performance acceptance of government procurement. The above documents can prove that the first phase of the project involved in the case has passed the acceptance. However, the defendant I has refused to sign and seal on the ground that the defendant II has not confirmed, and the defendant II has also delayed the confirmation of acceptance for various reasons.
The first phase of the project involved in the case has passed the acceptance and most of them have been actually put into use, but the plaintiff has not received any payment from the defendant 1 and the defendant 2 so far. The plaintiff believes that the defendant 1 and the defendant 2 have been delaying the confirmation of acceptance without justified reasons, in order to obstruct the achievement of payment terms, so as to achieve the purpose of delaying payment. The behavior of the defendant 1 and the defendant 2 has constituted a serious breach of contract, which should not only pay the due amount to the plaintiff, but also bear the liability for breach of contract. The third defendant, as the guarantor, shall bear joint and several guarantee liabilities for the above repayment liabilities and liabilities for breach of contract. Therefore, the plaintiff brings a lawsuit to your court, hoping that your court will find out the facts and support all the plaintiff's claims according to law, so as to safeguard the legitimate rights and interests of the plaintiff.
