Heading: Audit findings

Text: The final dispute about the audit findings largely turns on the second issue previously discussed: whether the 2000 Hour Commitment Letter is unenforceable due to lack of consideration. Scassa Asphalt posits that the 2000 Hour Commitment Letter is unenforceable; therefore, it can be held liable, at most, only for the hours Nick Scassa actually worked. Because we uphold the district court’s conclusion that the 2000 Hour Commitment Letter is enforceable, we necessarily affirm the court’s decision to establish the amount of contributions owed by reference to the audit that included 2000 hours annually for Nick Scassa. Although Scassa Asphalt objects to the time period for which unpaid contributions have been calculated, the company did not provide written notice to the Union or the Funds at any time that the company intended to terminate the short-form Agreement binding it to the CBA. Under the valid evergreen clauses, the contracts remained in force. See Trustees of the B.A.C. Local 32 Ins. Fund, 163 F.3d at 968–69.
