Sounds like ongoing business. If they didn’t pay you they would have to find another contractor. I’d be curious on other contractors that they use one time.

Obviously AISD was in a pinch and lots of money was spent by RJ to fix their problem.
Whatever the outcome, the school district is putting the company at risk and chose to not pay its debt.

The people of Arlington should be at every school district meeting to voice their concerns and make this end.

Starting on page 101 is some of the contracting stuff and the additional work added. https://www.aisd.net/wp-content/files/2021.03.11-Regular-Meeting-Agenda-PDC-Mtg-Virtual-Complete.pdf

Anyone know if the refusal to pay is for the original 1,245,600.00 or the add-on work of 205,480.45 or both?

He says he has not received a penny from them. So nothing on either amount. I do not know first hand though.

If there isn’t more to this story and AISD just doesn’t plan on paying, someone should go to jail and the city should have to pay significantly more than the actual invoice.

The city or ISD?

Just read thru it, those are two different projects, and two different Contractors. RJ Construction did the remediation at Sam Houston

RJ Miller Construction did a change order to a $11M project for $205,408 on a separate Project that was under construction.

Last time I tried to do a clean up after a flooded office, I ended up going through mold remediation. The walls got torn out and the office area look like something out of E.T. with all the plastic. The space and the bills continued to grow. Not fun or cheap. We were gouged.

Good Lord, $72,000 for diesel?

Facts are overrated.

Alot of people are ready to draw and quarter AISD. I worked for the company that inspected all the extinguishers and fire suppression systems for AISD for 30+ years and I also know AISD to be very fair and reputable. What I also know is that in an argument, there are always 2 sides to every story and that the answer / truth usually hides somewhere in the middle. I guess I'll play the devil's advocate here and ask a few questions that immediately come to mind.

Is RJ Roofing a licensed remediation / restoration company? I see that they certainly do roofing jobs.
Is RJ billing AISD for the entirety of the Sam Houston HS facility square footage? Surely the entire facility didn't flood.
Has something happened to make AISD question the work performed or the invoice? In the video and pics that are available, I see sheetrock that was without a doubt dry but cut out already.
Was there any testing done before hand? Any moisture logs to look at afterwards?
Did AISD or RJ or possibly an insurance company send out a consultant?
Prolly me just being picky but why are there so many kids in shorts walking around on this job?

I've got no dog in the hunt, just things that come to mind.

yep

those are all correct

My only criticism would be…If those seen wearing shorts were female, and over the age of consent, taking shots at them is/was wrong.

Please don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to cast aspersions upon RJ or AISD. I'm like the rest of you people and would love to hear what the other party has to say.
