McCain City of Little Rock 723 W. Markham Little Rock, AR 72201 Re: 1116 Rock Street - McArthur Park Historic District Condemnation by Fire/Restoration in Progress Dear Sir: This is in reponse to your letter of February 12,1991 requesting status of the above property. The facts concerning this case are: 1. A Contract for complete restoration in the amount of $35,000 was signed in May 1990 with Jeff Richards of Richards Construction Co. 2. October 1990 work by the contract was ceased. At that time he had been paid $30,000 or 85% of the contract. At that time only 65% of the work was complete and of questionable quality. 3. December 1990 Richards demanded money to continue work on the project. He changed contract amount to $38,300 and billed us for $4,575 for extras. Since no work has been done since October and what work has been completed was of questionable quality, we as owners did not think the contractor had intentions of completion, even if though we had never disputed we would pay for extras. Since December, we have been working on the house, paying for work and materials ourselves to be sure the work we pay for is done and of acceptable quality. At this time, the work remaining in order to get final inspection is as follows: 1. Kitchen cabinet doors/drawer fronts fabricated and installed (this work is under contract) 2. Hot water heaters and commodes installed 3. Carpet & vinyl installation 4. Replace stolen fireplace 5. Thermostat installation Mr. J. L. McCain page 2 Since the money on this contract was paid to the contractor and the work not done, we have had to pay the subs again to have the work done. There were no loans available to us and this has been a cash project. We have had to be careful and cautious about spending since taking over this project ourselves. , Our estimate of completion is June 1, 1991. We would certainly hope to be finished ahead of this time, but must allow for any unexpected rework and correction of substandard contruction that we encounter. Completion has been slow and costly and we continue to find things that are causing problems. We wish to advise you that we are sincere in our wish to complete this as soon as possible and without further delay. We would have never attempted a restoration if we did not have a valid interest and concern for this part of the city. We ask that an extension be granted to allow us to complete this project.
