This case comes before this Court for the third time. Plaintiff Port Chester Electrical Construction Corporation ("Port Chester") was a subcontractor on a hospital project for which defendant HBE Corporation ("HBE") was the general contractor. Defendant Firemen's Fund Insurance Company was HBE's payment bond surety with joint liability. Plaintiff brought suit to recover for delay damages resulting from changes in work after January 1, 1984. On remand from our decision in Port Chester Elec. Constr. Corp. v. HBE Corp., 978 F.2d 820 (2d Cir.1992) ("Port Chester II"), the district court dismissed plaintiff's complaint in an opinion and order dated January 9, 1995. We affirm for substantially the reasons stated in the district court's opinion.
