assumed responsibility over a new 300 room hotel/resort project in California. The HVAC mechanical subcontractor, Best Mechanical, Inc. (“Best”), has not shown up for
work in over one week. Best did not provide a performance bond. No written form of agreement was executed between GCI and Best. Your Project Manager has sent emails,
texts, and voice messages to Best. Best’s response was, “I am not making money on the project so, unless you pay me 35% more, I cannot continue.” Best also stated
that the mechanical drawings and specifications prepared by the owner’s mechanical engineer were horrible, unbuildable, and defective (likely an overstatement). The
mechanical work is on the critical path and the Project is being delayed. You have received notices of impacts from the Project delay from other subcontractors and
the owner.

drawings/specifications.
