Hello,

I received your voicemail regarding your No Pay Complaint 2024-08747. The incomplete no pay notice that was issued was requesting a contract with both parties agreement and official invoices reflecting what you stated on your complaint for the amount due which was $14,800.00 and the documents submitted do not reflect this amount. The documents that were submitted on August 2, 2024, text messages/emails are not sufficient along with the original documents submitted when this matter was opened. Please submit a contract stating the scope of work with both parties agreement and official invoices with the unpaid balance, if these documents are not provided then this matter will have to be closed.

Thank you,

Arizona Registrar of Contractors Legal Department

Just to confirm your email is stating that this is not an ROC issue because we do not have officially signed contracts. We have paperwork that was moved forward on with deposits. And typical messaging, but because there is no official signed contract the GC that's not paying, is not liable? We have agreements per text and messages as well as deposits and emails. But I do not have a signed contract on either party.

Original Contract

On 4/17/2024 Metro Concrete was provided with a set of plans. On 4/21/2024 we received a bid for our project at 3939 E St Catherine. The bid was sent to this email ([email redacted]) and was dated 4/19/2024.

There was confusion based on an earlier revision of plans listing the basement walls at approximately 4’’. Metro Concrete had never possessed a copy of this revision of plans. Metro Concrete was selected based on their stated experience building basements in Colorado. McMaken Construction entered into a contract but agreed to review a change order should Metro Concrete provide proper documentation regarding the miscommunication in wall height. McMaken Construction provided Metro Concrete with a deposit in the amount of $14,096.00. Please note that at this time and to date Metro did not possess a revision of plans with a 4’ wall height.

The terms of the only contract that McMaken Construction was provided at this time in the amount of $50,163.50 stated a deposit with the remainder due on completion. Please note that the unsigned contract that McMaken Construction has never accepted also lists the same payment terms. As such the work is not completed and McMaken requests that this claim of non payment be dismissed.

As work progressed McMaken Construction provided additional good faith progress payment. To date McMaken Construction has still never received a change order outlining any additional charges above the original $50,163.50.

On 7/1 an entirely new contract was sent to McMaken Construction in the amount of $74,098.00 listing a deposit of $14,098. While close to the original check that was written it is not a match and this is the first time McMaken Construction had been provided with these figures.

The first time McMaken Construction was provided the quote reflecting the $74,098.00 dated 4/19/2024 was via the ROC complaint received directly from the ROC. Despite the email address listed being correct Metro Concrete has failed to provide proof this document was ever sent.

Additional progress payments were requested by Metro Concrete. McMaken Construction requested the proper change order for review with an explanation of the unapproved additional charges as well as a draw schedule if any additional funds were to be provided prior to completions as outline in the original contract.

At this point in time McMaken Construction has paid in excess of funds outlined in the original contract and is in no way withholding funds from Metro Concrete. LEGAL RECEIVED 09/19/2024

Workmanship Issues

McMaken Construction has discovered multiple issues with the work performed by Metro Concrete. McMaken Construction understands that Metro Concrete is entitled to remedy these issues. Pictures of the defects are included in this email.

1. The concrete for the pour in place walls was not properly vibrated. There are voids and a structural engineer is currently reviewing whether this will affect the structure. 2. The top of the walls are very inconsistent. There will undoubtedly be a change order received from the masonry contractor to build on top 3. The plans call for anchors every 10” at the stairwell and 12” for the rest of the structure. The anchors were placed at 10” through out the structure which will result in additional work for the framers and may affect layout. 4. The rebar and matting in the walls was not installed per the plans. 5. Metro Concrete opted to build forms from scratch. The plywood used had a foil layer attached. The foil is now embedded in the walls. The seal coating rep has concerns about the integrity of the seal due to the foil as well as the voids. We are currently getting pricing on a repair.

Not included in this email is the exchange with James Riggs of Metro Concrete. Through his frustration James displayed unprofessional, derogatory and inflammatory behavior in communicating. McMaken Construction has heavy concerns about the ability of Metro Concrete to maintain a professional work environment should they remedy the workmanship issues and complete the project.

Metro has left the job in disarray and refused to repair any of the quality of work issues and abandoned the job.

Due to all of the issues above McMaken Construction has serious concerns about Metro Concretes ability to remedy the workmanship defects and complete the work agreed to in the original contract agreed upon dated 4/19/2024 in the amount of $50,163.50 while maintaining a professional work environment.

McMaken Construction is in the process of collecting professional reports regarding the quality of work issues as of 9/19/2024 they are not currently complete. McMaken Construction reached out to the ROC to inquire about filing a workmanship claim but was informed that it would be approximately 8 weeks to schedule a site meeting. That timeline was not in the best interest of of the customer and creates a litany of additional issues to overcome not limited to the storage of fill dirt affecting the health of multiple 100 plus year old trees on the property.

At the completion the reports and when McMaken Construction has a more complete view of the steps and costs involved in preparing the workmanship issues created by metro concrete McMaken Construction will be filing in civil court.

Good afternoon, This is james with metro concrete, The above reference is included.I am also adding some photos now. We've been put on the sideline as nothing was going on, We were told that there was some Of our work getting checked. We Got a call from the home owner.Letting us know our work was done completely.Correct above and beyond. We sent emails and messages trying to get back on site, As of today I drove by and they've completely started moving forward with the remainder of the contract without our knowledge, We are now missing Rebar.That was on site that they used steago, Vapor barrier that was on-site ready for remainder of work as well.As all of the prep work that was already completed , they went ahead and used and started doing their own work.

This is a complete violation of contract.Complete robbery of money.And there should be no way that some general contractor in town could do work like this and to steal from sub contractors like this.

We did our project proburley never got paid for the remainder of the work that we did complete.And now they're using somebody else to move forward with our materials that were on site. We are missing tools, materials.

WRITTEN ANSWER TO CITATION AND COMPLAINT

CASE NO. 2024-08747

Via E-Mail Only Registrar of Contractors 1700 W. Washington Street, Suite 105 Phoenix, Arizona 85007 [email redacted]

RE: Metro Concrete Arizona v. McMaken Construction LLC

Dear Registrar:

Please consider this McMaken Construction LLC’s (“McMaken”) Answer to the above referenced Citation. The Complaint filed by Metro Concrete Arizona LLC (“Metro”) is inaccurate throughout. McMaken submits the Citation should be dismissed for the following reasons which all will be discussed below:

1. There is a valid signed contract for $50,163.50 and no Change Order or supplemental contract has been agreed; 2. McMaken does not disagree that the scope changed from a 4-foot wall to a 10-foot wall. However, the prices as designated and unit prices sought after by Metro are inaccurate and attempt to change agreed upon unit pricing; 3. The original Bid and Contract submitted was for an 8” slab and the plans only called out for 4” slab so the original Bid and Contract was over-priced; 4. Metro never finished the work and the scope of work not completed exceeds what has been paid out by McMaken; and 5. The work completed by Metro failed to meet minimal standards and McMaken has paid for repairs in excess of any amount that may be claimed by Metro.

Original Bid and Contract and Lack of any agreed to Change Order

Metro submitted a Bid that was executed by McMaken on April 19, 2024, for work at the Brooks’ residence. (See Exhibit D) That is the only signed contract between the parties. Metro has not submitted any subsequent change order, contract or bid that has been executed by both parties. Received 11/15/2024 ROC Legal

November 15, 2024 Page 2

The reason being is that what was submitted by Metro for a complete new contract contained costing that changed not only the scope of additional work but previous work that was already agreed to in price (discussed more below).

There was apparent confusion as to one line item, See Exhibit A, which was Item 1.B(H) Retaining Wall. Although the plans submitted to Metro show a 10-foot-tall wall, in subsequent conversations, as set forth by Metro in its exhibits, there was confusion as to whether the wall would be 4-feet or 10-feet. Apparently, Metro bid for a 4-foot wall. McMaken agrees that if the bid was for a 4-foot wall, that additional costs may be incurred by Metro to increase the quantities which McMaken agrees it would be responsible. However, as discussed below, Metro attempted to change unit prices from the original breakdown in Exhibit A.

McMaken has asked Metro to submit a Change Order for the additional work. Metro has refused to do so to this day. McMaken has informed Metro that it does not intend to enter into a new contract since the work had begun and payments had been made under the existing contract when Metro attempted to submit a brand-new contract for execution. McMaken has and will continue to agree to negotiate any submitted Change Order that accurately sets forth prices and the scope of work. Metro’s new proposed Bid/Contract does not accurately do so, as is shown in Exhibit B.

Metro Changed Unit Pricing when the scope changed from Four Foot to Ten Foot

Metro’s original breakdown of its bid (Exhibit A) has five different changes to unit pricing versus its new breakdown of costs for the increase in wall height (Exhibit B). Remarkably, two unit prices went down while three increased in price. To be consistent and fair, McMaken asserts that the unit prices from the original bid (Exhibit A) should be used and they are not deserving of the lower of the unit prices in all instances between Exhibit A and Exhibit B. These unit price changes include:

1. Item 1.B(H) This line item is the wall that should have a change in quantity (QTY) which McMaken agrees should increase from 18.00 cubic yards to 36.00 cubic yards. In the original breakdown the unit price is $300.00 per cubic yard while the supplemental breakdown with new correct wall height has unit price of $260.00 per cubic yard. Thus, Metro should be entitled to $300.00 per cubic yard as originally agreed to in Exhibit A which should increase this line item by $5,700.00. The math is as follows:

37.00 x $300.00 = $11,100.00 18.00 x $300.00 = ($5,400.00) Net Difference $5,700.00

2. Item 1.C(A) Received 11/15/2024 ROC Legal

November 15, 2024 Page 3

This is #4 rebar. The quantity does not change but unit price goes from $2.25 per linear foot to $3.75 per linear foot. Using the original $2.25 price there should be a net credit of $3,495.00.

3. Item 1.C(B) This is the same as #2 above except for #5 rebar. The quantity did not change but the unit price went from $3.00 per linear foot to $5.50 per linear foot. Thus, there should be a net credit of $10,162.50.

4. Item 1.C(C) This is for W.W.F. fiber. There is no change in quantity. The only change is unit price which increased from the first breakdown to the second breakdown from $1.75 per sq. foot to $5.00 per sq. foot. There should be a net credit of $6,357.00.

5. Item 1.D In the original breakdown, Metro claimed the costs of the pumping trucks to be $1,800.00 and in the subsequent breakdown shows the cost to be $1,500.00. Although it appears Metro only had to pay $1,500.00 since McMaken agreed to the original $1,800.00, it would owe $300.00 for this line item.

Based on the above five items, the net increase in cost should be $6,000.00 (See #1 and #5 above) while there should be a credit of $20,014.50 resulting in a net credit of $14,014.50 off of the new breakdown (Exhibit B) for the correct wall height. Thus, the total amount due under the contract, assuming all work was performed and performed correctly, would be $60,083.50 which is $9,920.00 more than the original Contract price.

Slab Overpricing in Both Breakdowns (Exhibit A and B)

The slab for the flooring should have been bid at 4” and was actually bid at 8”. The price bid was $6,902.00 for slabs which include Items 1.B(A), 1.B(B), 1.B(C), and 1.B(D) which prices are the same on Exhibits A and B. Thus, there should be a credit on the Contract of $3,451.00 for the correct quantities. Mr. Riggs in his April 19, 2024 text to Mike McMaken (Exhibit C) states that he bid on 8” slab and 4’ wall while the true slab thickness was 4”.

Metro never fully performed all Work under the Contract

Under both Exhibit A and Exhibit B Metro never completed the following scopes of work:

1. Item 1.A(A) Basement Slab – Partially Completed; 2. Item 1.A(B) Garage; 3. Item 1.A(C) Laundry/Vest; Received 11/15/2024 ROC Legal

November 15, 2024 Page 4

4. Item 1.A(D) Patio; 5. Item 1.A(E) Continuous Footing – Partially Completed; 6. Item 1.B(A) Basement Slab; 7. Item 1.B(B) Garage; 8. Item 1.B (C) Laundry/Vest; 9. Item 1.B(D) Patio; 10. Item 1.B(E) Continuous Footing – Partially Completed; 11. Item 1.B(G) Slab Toedown; and 12. Item 1.C(C) W.W.F. For Items 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, and 121, none of that work was completed. Based on Exhibits A and B there should be a net credit for these Items of $14,002.00. Less than 50% of the work on Items 1, 5, and 10 was completed by Metro but McMaken will only seek a credit of 50% for these line items. The total cost for these three Items is $10,165.00 which would result in a credit of $5,082.50. Thus, the total cost of work not performed is $19,084.50.

Poor Workmanship Resulting in Repairs Paid out by McMaken

There were numerous defects in the work performed by Metro. The homeowner Brooks, based on the unprofessional personality and demeanor of Mr. Riggs, informed McMaken that they would not allow Metro to repair the improper work it performed. Thus, McMaken was forced to hire other contractors to perform such repairs. The defects in workmanship include but are not limited to:

1. Forms supplied by Metro were plywood with foil wrapping which resulted in the foil being embedded into the walls which would not allow waterproofing to be adhered and thus resulted in costs to strip the foil from the walls prior to waterproofing being able to be applied; 2. The top of the wall was not poured to the correct dimensions resulting in the block contractor not being able to perform its work and requiring fixes to the top of the walls; 3. Metro installed anchors in excess of the plans and specifications requiring additional costs incurred by the framing subcontractor; and 4. Metro did not clean up the site leaving behind materials including forms which required costs to clean up and remove the debris. The costs are still being calculated by McMaken for Items 1-4 above, but currently to-date McMaken has spent just over $13,000.00 for these items and will submit the invoicing prior to any hearing that takes place in this matter.

For all these items except Item 12 the unit price between Exhibit A and Exhibit B was the same. For Item 12, since McMaken is arguing that the original unit prices (Exhibit A) should be valid, the credit is for the unit price of $1.75 from Exhibit A and not $5.00 in Exhibit B.

Conclusion

As can be seen above, the claims by Metro are at best half-truths and do not fully set forth the true nature of the dispute between the parties. The claim should be dismissed as Metro has never submitted a Change Order for the change of scope of the wall height, despite multiple requests by McMaken. If the Complaint is not dismissed the new breakdown of costs as set forth in Exhibit B is inaccurate and should only result in a net increase of the original contract of $9,920.00. Further, for incomplete work, there should be a net credit of at least $19,084.50. Lastly, there should be a credit of at least $13,000 for the poor workmanship.

The original contract was for $50,163.50 and $34,096.00 has been paid to date which leaves a net balance of $16,067.50. With that as the starting point as is not in dispute the following additions and credits should be included:

Owed under Original Contract $16,067.50 Correct Amount due for New Wall Height $9,920.00 Credit for Work not Completed ($19,084.50) Credit for Defective Work ($13,000.00) Total ($6,097.00)

Based on the full facts of the project, Metro currently would owe McMaken $6,097.00 to- date. As McMaken has not fully contracted to perform the work not completed by Metro, McMaken, to the extent the costs for the work not completed increase in price with new contractors, would be also entitled to the differences paid to the new contractor versus what was bid out by Metro. These numbers will be further supplemented.

McMaken looks forward to working with the Registrar of Contractors to resolve this matter in a fair manner. Please contact me with any questions that you may have. Thank you for your cooperation.

Very truly yours,
