Mr. Gilmore
I have received your email and have asked my project inspector to provide me additional information
on the situation. The City does not usually become involved in situations between the contractor we
hire and his subcontractors. However, at the end of a project, before we release the final retainage on
the project, we require our contractor to provide us an affidavit that all bills have been paid.
When I have more information I will get back in touch with you.

Hello,
My name is Lee Gilmore. I am the owner of Alterra Contracting LLC. We were contracted to build the retaining
wall on Sandy Lake Road by North Texas Bridge Co. who was a subcontractor to Tiseo Paving. I have not been
paid for work completed and material used by NTB on the job. I would like to discuss this matter with someone
from your office. We have tried several times to talk to Garreth but he will not return calls or emails. Tiseo and
North Texas Bridge will not answer any calls or emails as well.
I have several letters concerning the problems on the job that led to Alterra not being allowed to complete the
job. We had a section of wall that failed and were told by John Gay with Tiseo to repair it after all other work was
completed due to traffic control. We were never allowed to complete the work and therefore never allowed to
make the repairs. Money was held back for repairs that we were not allowed to do. North Texas Bridge also
used material on the remaining wall that was property of Alterra Contracting. There are a number of issues that
were not in our control but contributed to our problems. Please at least contact me to discuss this in detail. If I
don't hear from someone soon I will be filing a lien or taking other action to collect. We are a small company and
can't afford to let this continue.
Respectfully, Lee Gilmore
