Hello,

The response from the ROC says I did not include a written contract. However, the “Purchase Order/PO” is the contract that was issued by Sigma to confirm HRL’s first task on this jobsite. Every subsequent Change Order/CCO gets added to the scope as the job/project progresses. I have reattached the PO, as well as all subsequent change orders, which are signed by both parties:

22865-Lifted_Trucks-Tucson_T.I-PO-01760-Supervision-2022-02-20.pdf (Purchase Order/PO) Lifted Trucks Supervision CCO#1_sigs.pdf (Change Order #1) Lifted Trucks HRL RC CCO#2_sigs.pdf (Change Order #2) 22865-Lifted_Trucks-Tucson_T.I-003-CE_010-Platform_from_Steel_to_Wood-2-22-09-19_sigs.pdf (Change Order #3) Lifted Trucks Marana HRL Tree Trim CC0#4.pdf (Change Order #4) Lifted Trucks Marana HRL Structural Masonry CCO#5.pdf (Change Order #5) Lifted Trucks HRL Fence Posts CCO#6.pdf (Change Order #6)

I have now also attached all of the corresponding HRL Invoices that were also sent to Sigma. The invoices were what Simga used to verify the work scope that was called for and issue the change orders, allowing the work to be completed onsite:

HRL INV #739 (accompanies the Purchase Order/PO) HRL INV #740 (accompanies CCO #1) HRL INV #765 (accompanies CCO #2) HRL INV #792 (accompanies CCO #3) HRL INV #801 (accompanies CCO #4) HRL INV #802 (accompanies CCO #5) HRL INV #832 (accompanies CCO #6)

The people/Sigma employees who negotiated the contract are:

Sandy Jordan Dan Hinkson Jerry Patterson John Russell

The agreed upon payment schedule was:

I was to send my pay app to Sandy Jordan by the 20th of each month. The payment was to be paid by the end of the following month (standard payment practices with payment applications). I have attached each payment application that was sent to Sandy Jordan at Sigma: Lifted Trucks Tucson TI – HRL Pay App 7.20.2022.xls (sent 7/20/2022) Lifted Trucks Tucson TI – HRL Pay App 8.19.2022.xls (sent 8/19/2022) Lifted Trucks Tucson TI – HRL Pay App 9.20.2022.xls (sent 9/20/2022) Lifted Trucks Tucson TI – HRL Pay App 10.20.2022.xls (sent 10/20/2022) RECEIVED 02/07/2024 Lifted Trucks Tucson TI – HRL Pay App 11.21.2022.xls (sent 11/21/2022) ROC LEGAL

HRL Construction was to receive the payments. I have attached an email correspondence from Jerry Patterson to myself from 1/5/2023, indicating Jerry’s intent to review the past due payments with John Russell. The total agreed upon scope including the PO and the 6 subsequent CCO’s was $21,505.83. So far, HRL has been paid $19,355.24. The balance owed is the 10% retention that is still owed to HRL in the amount of $2,150.59.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you,

Attention: Katelyn Rolling

Re: Complaint Number Response: 2024-01017 Lifted Trucks Marana, Arizona

Dear Ms. Rolling

I am writing in response to the complaint letter issued to Sigma Contracting, Inc. dated February 14, 2024, from the Registrar’s office and the complaint filed on January 25, 2024. It is my understanding that this complaint is tied to a project known as Lifted Trucks in Marana, Arizona for “non-payment”.

John Russel was employed by Sigma Contracting as the project manager responsible for overseeing the construction of Lifted Trucks and he also has ownership in HRL Construction with his wife Kim Russel.

John hired HRL Construction, originally a licensed Arizona contractor, KB-1 Dual Building Contractor, to do small “handyman” type of work. Once John had issued the initial purchase order to HRL he then issued multiple change orders to HRL Construction on the project. John was managing the budget, issuing himself (HRL) purchases orders, then subsequent change orders then approving payments from Sigma to HRL.

On the Lifted Trucks project John initially wrote himself (HRL) purchase order 0176 for $2,941.52 for supervision then subsequently issued six (6) additional change orders to HRL on this project for a total of Twenty-One Thousand Five Hundred Five Dollars and 83/100 ($21,505.83), see table below.

Please note that the paperwork for all this work scope was created by John, distributed by John, and approved for payment by John. None of this documentation has a signature on it from me or my partner, Jerry Patterson. In fact, only Change Order’s 3 has both John and Kim’s signatures while none of the others were signed by either party. Please review the documents filed by HRL to the Registrar that were attached to the February 14, 2024, letter from the ROC to Sigma.

The Lifted Trucks project was a cost-plus project completed in February 2024. In August of 2023 was the first time John had told the Owners of Lifted Trucks and their construction manager that he had ownership in HRL. Most of the work issued by John to HRL had no quotes from other subcontracting companies that justified the cost of the work completed by HRL. The Owner was livid that John had not shared that information with them prior to issuing HRL work. He made a comment “it is like the fox watching the hen house.”

Sigma entered final reconciliation on this project in December 2023 and the owners of Lifted Trucks made it clear that they were extremely upset with the fact that John was not forthcoming with his actions and ownership of HRL. Part of our negotiations was to secure payment of the $10,020.00 for drilling and setting fence posts even though HRL never provided a real breakdown for that actual labor and John randomly charged Sigma 20% for overhead and profit on this change order. As such in final reconciliation Lifted Trucks elected to not continue to pay HRL for the remainder of its services. In September 2023 John left Sigma to work for another commercial construction company in Phoenix.

There are a few circumstances revolving around this issue that have justified HRL not receiving additional payments. The fact that the project was a cost-plus project and the Owner elected to not pay for services by HRL due to their perception of John not being genuine with them in terms of revealing his ownership with HRL. The lack of competitive quotes from other licensed subcontractors to do over $21,000 worth of work therefore justifying or verifying the value of the work. The lack of executed change orders by both HRL and Sigma for much of this work totaling almost $19,000 of the $21,000 John issued to HRL. As of this writing Sigma has not been paid in full for all the services rendered on this project. We do not believe we owe HRL any additional compensation.

Arizona Registrar of Contractors

1700 West Washington Street, Suite 105

Phoenix, Arizona 85007-2812

Written Answer to Citation and Complaint

Attention: Margaret Lindsey

Re: Case Number: 2024-01017 Lifted Trucks Marana, Arizona

Dear Ms. Lindsey

I am writing in response to the complaint letter issued to Sigma Contracting, Inc. dated February 14, 2024, and the subsequent citation. We are being accused of being in violation of A.R.S. Section 32- 1154(A)(10) on this project for non-payment to the complainant, HRL Construction LLC.

Per the previous response dated February 20, 2024, from Sigma to the Registrar, on this matter it was noted that John Russel (employee of Sigma Contracting and Co-Owner of HRL Construction with his wife Kim Russel) issued a series of purchase orders and change orders to himself (HRL) for a variety of construction services. All of these are available in the original filing by HRL.

It was noted in our February 20, 2024, response to the Registrar that “the paperwork for all this work scope was created by John, distributed by John, and approved for payment by John. None of this documentation has a signature on it from me or my partner, Jerry Patterson. In fact, only Change Order’s has both John and Kim’s signatures while none of the others were signed by either party. Please review the documents filed by HRL to the Registrar that were attached to the February 14, 2024, letter from the ROC to Sigma.”

In essence there was no offer and acceptance on the part of Sigma to create a contractual agreement between Sigma and HRL for this project or these services. John, as the Project Manager for Sigma never had the authority to enter into any contractual agreements with any subcontractor on any project for Sigma. Only Jerry Patterson, my partner, and I have the authority to sign subcontracts, purchases orders and change orders binding Sigma to a contractual obligation.

The contract between Lifted Trucks was a cost-plus agreement in which Sigma was obligated to provide the Owner of Lifted three quotes for every scope of work for each trade. John was responsible for gathering these quotes, making his recommendation as to which sub to use and then sharing this information to review it with the Owner prior to having Sigma enter a subcontract or purchase order with each subcontractor. John never provided this information or documentation to the Owner showing the three quotes on any trade. In fact, he did not gather any quotes for any of the work scope he wrote for HRL except for Change Order 6 (drilling holes and setting fence posts) for which he had one quote.

To make matters worse John had never told the Owner of Lifted that John had ownership in HRL until Sigma was doing the final reconciliation of costs after the project was substantially completed. Please note this project started in July of 2022 and then started the final reconciliation in August 2023 over 13 months after the work started.

The owner of Lifted Trucks made it clear that he was extremely upset with the fact that John was not forthcoming with his actions in terms of getting three quotes and more so that John had ownership of HRL and issued himself purchase orders without obtaining competitive quotes for this work per the contract.

Initially, the owner of Lifted was not going to pay for the remaining claim from HRL which included change order 6 for $10,020.00 for drilling and setting fence posts. Even though HRL never provided any satisfactory breakdown for actual labor for this work I was able to convince the owner of Lifted to pay Sigma for this work as I had found one quote from another company for this work and the HRL billing was less than the other quote. Please note that John did the work first throughout the project on all the purchase orders, then invoiced Sigma after the fact. He would then incorporate these invoices into the monthly billings to Lifted.

Sigma had already paid HRL for Change Order 6 and all the work they did even though there was never a formal executed contractual agreement between Sigma and HRL except the $2,150.59, which is the amount of their ROC claim, as the Owner of Lifted Truck refused to pay Sigma for any of the outstanding claims of compensation that HRL thinks they are due.

There are a few circumstances revolving around this issue that have justified HRL not receiving additional payments. 1. There is no contract between HRL and Sigma with the lack of executed change orders by both HRL and Sigma for much of this work totaling almost $19,000 of the $21,000 John issued to HRL. 2. John never provided quotes for the HRL work in advance of doing the work and in comparison, to other quotes to allow the owner to be a part of the decision to select one company over the other per the contractual obligations of Sigma. 3. The fact that the project was a cost-plus project and the Owner elected to not pay for services by HRL due to their perception of John not being genuine with them in terms of revealing his ownership with HRL and his billing tactics. 4. Sigma was not paid for the work that HRL is claiming is due.

In conclusion, we do not believe that Sigma is in violation of A.R.S. Section 32-1154(A)(10) as HRL never had an executed or written contract for any of the HRL work except change order 3, and that one was signed by John and not the Owner’s of Sigma.

Please let us know what the next steps are in getting this matter resolved.
