ABAX, INCORPORATED, Plaintiff-Appellant, v. LEHRER McGOVERN BOVIS, INC., Defendant-Respondent. [And Other Actions].

Under the particular circumstances presented, we exercise our discretion to grant renewal ( see Mejia v. Nanni, 307 A.D.2d 870). The documentation submitted on the motion to renew establishes that the Contract Manager received notice of claims G, J, Y, BB2 and CC within 20 days of their actual accrual dates in accordance with the requirements of § 25 of the subject contract and, accordingly, that these claims were timely interposed. In addition, bearing in mind that § 25 notice does not require a computation of damages, we find that triable factual issues have been raised as to whether claims F, I2, I3, K, T1 through T3, and W should be permitted since the documents submitted with respect to those claims show that defendant was afforded sufficient notice of the contractor's intention to file the claims and of the conditions from which they arose, and provided sufficient data to allow a determination of their amount. We note as well that claims I2 and I3, and claim J are in any event sustainable as against defendants' motion seeking their dismissal as time-barred, upon the ground that they state cognizable requests for relief pursuant § 30 and § 17 of the Contract, respectively, and thus are not subject to the notice of claim time limitations of § 25. Since the above-enumerated claims had been the subject of sufficient correspondence to make them well known to the Contract Manager, complete technical compliance with the notice of claim requirements was not necessary ( see e.g. Whitmyer Bros., Inc. v. State of New York, 63 A.D.2d 103, affd 47 N.Y.2d 960).

THIS CONSTITUTES THE DECISION AND ORDER OF THE SUPREME COURT, APPELLATE DIVISION, FIRST DEPARTMENT.
