BREACH OF CONTRACT — NEGLIGENT MISREPRESENTATION: The trial court did not err by ruling in favor of defendant owner on plaintiff contractor's claim for breach of contract where the record supports the trial court's determination that plaintiff contractor failed to provide the requisite notice of its claim under the terms of the construction contract in order to prevail on its claim for breach of contract. The trial court did not err in dismissing plaintiff contractor's claim for negligent misrepresentation as a matter of law where the claim was based on a prior representation made during the bidding process and the construction contract ultimately stated that it "supersedes prior negotiations, representations or agreements, either written or oral."
