Geer-Melkus Construction

Geer-Melkus was the general contractor on many prominent buildings and civil engineering projects throughout the Midwest, including the Stuhr Museum of the Prairie Pioneer in Grand Island, designed by Edward Durell Stone.

The company was involved in several prominent lawsuits, including Geer-Melkus Constr.

Bison Construction claimed that Geer-Melkus had withheld a payment totalling $16,196.19.

Geer-Melkus admitted to withholding said payments but said it was on account of damages incurred by water escaping through a break in the water line which Bison was contracted to construct.

The end result was a judgement against Geer-Melkus and they were impelled to pay Bison Construction the outstanding total.
