	Amelco Electric v. The City of Thousand Oaks
		City contends the finding of abandonment must be reversed because a public works contract cannot be abandoned as a matter of law, there is no substantial evidence of abandonment, and the jury instructions on this issue were incorrect.
		City also contends the breach of contract finding must be reversed because Amelco failed to give proper notice of its claim, released its damages claims, did not prove that its damages were caused by City' s breach, and did not prove that the "total cost" method of calculating damages should be applied here.
		City contends the damages are excessive because the overhead and profit rates used by the jury exceed those provided in the contract and because the jury awarded damages for superintendence and for bond and insurance premiums which, under the contract, were to be included in overhead.

	Brief in Amelco Electric v. The City of Thousand Oaks (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		City argues that Amelco was required to prove when the contract was abandoned because the date of the breach is a required element of a plaintiff's prima facie case for breach of contract.
		Adding a requirement, as City urges, that an abandonment plaintiff prove when the abandonment occurred is contrary to the rule in California that a plaintiff must prove the fact of damage with certainty but need not prove the amount of damage with certainty.
		The City's actions in ordering an excessive number of changes so as to alter the nature of the work undertaken amounts to a breach of the City's implied warranty that the specifications were adequate.
