Heading: Three inch minus gravel

Text: Derr argues that Tew materially breached the contract by not providing three inch minus gravel. Derr also argues that a material breach occurred because there was no consideration provided for the contract modification. The superior court did not find a material breach because there was an ambiguity in the contract regarding responsibility for screening gravel to three inch minus. As we explained above, the superior court resolved the ambiguity by looking to extrinsic evidence, and reasonably determined that Tew was not responsible for providing three inch minus gravel. We conclude that the superior court did not clearly err in making these factual determinations. Therefore, the superior court did not err in determining that Tew did not materially breach the contract because Tew met the conditions of the contract regarding three inch minus gravel. It follows that there was no contract modification requiring additional consideration.
