Michele,

For the record, we are willing to pay the following:

“Final Bill for Kitchen Contract”                                $5,810

(Sent via email by Jeff on 1/5/18 at 6:25pm)

Expense List                                                                   -$4,570

(Attached)

Breville Agreement                                                       +$136

Total                                                                                 $1,376

This check can be cut to UDAC, LLC today, as this is what we are contractually obligated to pay for Kitchen Contract #632K via the final bill presented. 

I have attached all documentation applying to this message.

Finally, as of 1:20pm on 1/8/2018, UDCA, LLC and its subcontractors are not allowed to enter the property at Fieldstone Lane, Geneva, IL 60134 without written email permission.  If they enter without permission, it will be considered trespassing, and the Kane County Police Department will be contacted.  UDAC, LLC will send any keys for the Fieldstone property via Priority Mail Express Overnight Mail to the following contact:

Dear Devon and Jordan,

Unfortunately, you leave UDAC no alternative but to file a lien on the residence that the work was performed on.  

Then to use legal process to foreclose on the lien.

Per the UDAC contract (#632K-signed 4/1/17):

“Any “added” allowable items will be billed at the allowance amount and an add-on sheet  will be signed by both parties before that work will be started.”

No add on sheets were presented to or signed by me or Devon. In addition, added item allowance amount were never shared with either one of us verbally.

I, under no legal obligation, will still honor the additional payment of the original $385 documented in our first email correspondence.  This is a curtesy to Jeff/UDAC, as I appreciate the hard work and friendship.

Hi Michelle,

Regarding the $2,275.00 for the “added on finished work”. 

Is this charge for work that was done in addition to the work documented in the original kitchen contract (#632K-signed 4/1/2017)?

Per Jeff’s  text on 1/6/18 at 7:36am he said “I am not interested in any conversation other than here is my check.  You can talk to Michelle about it.  I’m done talking”.  On 1/6/18 at 8:00am he then stated “Michele will handle the communications and we will finish the basement per contract”.  We agreed to your terms and conditions of communication, respected them, and practiced what you asked. This morning we are receiving communications, again, from Jeff.  

I will continue to utilize the communication mode that was requested to respond. Michelle:  In the “Final Bill for Kitchen Contract”, which was presented by Jeff on 1/5/17 and is a legally binding document, the total is $5,810.  Jeff stated this morning that the additional $2275.00 added in to the final on 1/7/17 was for “the allowances for the granite, sink, faucet, Hotel, cleaning, food.”  I am confused about allowances.

An allowance, per the contract, is a cost included in the contract that ADAC will pay for (reference the kitchen allowance page attached).  For example, our kitchen contract states an allowance for granite is $26 per square foot and an allowance for floor tile is $2.90 per square foot.

Please explain.

In the bill sent over for $5,810.00 that was sent over, the allowances for the granite, sink, faucet , Hotel, cleaning, food were already deducted from the total.

You then deducted them again in your figures.

Hi Michele,

Thanks for your response.  I look forward to a quick resolution as well.  I am having a bit of trouble understanding the additional $2,275 in charges.  Where is this number coming from?  For your reference, I have attached the “Final Bill for Kitchen Contract” that Jeff sent Friday.  The total on this bill is $5,810.  You have just presented me with a total of $7,690.  Please explain.

Thanks,

Jordan
