No. 029119 Page 1 of 1 Public Service Committee Meeting 2/26/2007 12:30 PM Surety Bond Department:License & Inspection Department Caption:Approve forfeiture of Surety Bond for Mr. Duncan Phillips, d/b/a Phillips Renovations. Background:Mr. Glen Shands filed a complaint alleging damages arising from work done or supervised by Mr. Duncan Phillips, d/b/a Phillips Renovations. According to the complaint, Mr. Shands contracted with Mr. Phillips to install a 25-year shingle roof on the house belonging to Mr. Shands at 3623 Belair Road for a total cost of $3,137.00. Mr. Phillips sub- contracted the work to install the roof. The work was done without purchasing a permit, and the roof installation was not in compliance with the building codes...Mr. Phillips agreed to replace the shingles on the front portion of the house. Mr. Gene Floyd (Floyd’s Roofing) did the shingle replacement work to the satisfaction of Mr. Shands and the License & Inspection Department. While replacing the front portion of the roof, problems with the shingle installation on the rear of the house were observed. Mr. Phillips agreed to replace the shingles on the back of the house under certain conditions that Mr. Shands would not agree to. Analysis:After many discussions with both Mr. Phillips and Mr. Shands, I have decided that the only way to resolve the issue is for Mr. Shands to file a claim against the Surety Bond for Phillips Renovations for the amount of $1200.00 which is the proposed cost to replace the rear portion of the roof. Financial Impact:N/A.... If the claim against the bond is approved by RLI Insurance Company, RLI will issue a check in the amount of $1200.00 made payable to Augusta, and Augusta will issue a check to Mr. Shands in the same amount. Alternatives:Do not approve. Recommendation:Approve Funds are Available in the Following Accounts: N/A REVIEWED AND APPROVED BY: Administrator.
