RE: Claim #638-0052709; Bond #PRF-89999827; JRJ Paving
To respond to your e-mail below and your voice mail earlier today
requesting a status update, I was told by JRJ that it has not paid North
Texas Bridge (NTB) because NTB did not complete its subcontract work
sufficiently early to allow JRJ to collect two early-completion bonuses,
one tied to completion of the bridge and the other to the overall
completion of the project. I understand that at least the bonus for early
completion of the bridge would have been shared between JRJ and NTB if it
had been paid. JRJ told me that NTB had provided schedules and assurances
that it would finish the bridge in a timeframe so that the requirements for
both bonuses would have been met.
I have asked JRJ for additional information and documentation and
reiterated that request today. Once I receive that I should be in a better
position to respond more formally to your claim.

Mr. Kriss,
You did not comment on my email of 05/20 (below). Has JRJ still not
responded to your request for an update?
It has now been two months since the City of Coppell released full and
final
retainage to your client, which included the $38,366.68 past due and owing
to North Texas Bridge. Your client's non-responsiveness is causing my
company undue financial hardship.
For the benefit of interested parties, would you please tell me when I can
expect an update from you or JRJ.
Thank you,
Barbara J. Glock

Mr. Kriss,
Our letter to JRJ, et al, was dated and mailed with all attachments on May
3rd. Please recall my phone call, emails and fax to you occurred after my
receipt (05/10) of your May 5th letter acknowledging our April 13 bond
claim. With all due respect, Mr. Kriss, unless JRJ and their local agent
both denied receiving our letter and attachments, your provision of the
same
to them is redundant and causes further delay in our being paid. It also
concerns us that you indicate no anticipated time frame for receiving an
update from JRJ.
