Cal. B&1' Code §7] 18 provides as follows: 7118. �ntering into a contract with a contractor while such cantractor is not lieensed as pro�vidcd in this chaptor cvnadtutcs a cause for dlse�pl�ixxaz�y aetion. To withhold app�cova� o� Steton.'s proposcd substatution would be to demeud that Stoton "aontract with a contractor while suoh oontiraotor is not licensod." Wc bcliavc that to mak� auch a dcmand would constitute an abusc of discrction. Alsv, B&P Code �7114 provides as follows 7114. Aiding or abetting an unlicensed person to evade the provisions of this chaptar or combining or conspiring with an unliccnscd person, or allowin� vnc's license to be used by an unlicensed person, or acti�ng as agent or partner or associate, or otherwise, of an unlieenss�d parson with the intent to ovade thc proviaiona of this ohapter constitut�s a causc £or disciplinary activn. Wcro 3teton tv knvwingly subcontx'act wlth a conbractor known to have a suspended license, it would be "aiding and abetting" Lujan in evading the applicatian of the license law (i.e.� it would be helping Lujan conduct lus contracting busincss vrithout a licdnsc.) A�ain. wc believe that to make such a demand would constitute an, abuse o�di�scretion. I am not p�anning to appear on Februsuy 8, 2007 on Steton's b¢half; tathor.

Steton began pxeparing form subconhacts I foz its project subcantcactors. ln thc eourtie of doing so, Steton verifies variou� information items regarding the subcontrsictors. Among the itoms we try to check is whethcr thc subcontractors arc I properly licenbed by tha Stato Contraetors Liccnse Board to do tho work proposcd for their subcontracts, 4. �3y Thursday, September 14, 2006, wc had a form subcontract pnparcd for Lujan ', wh en w o eh e e k e d o n his li cen a e � t� e t u s at th a C on trac t o r s 9 t a t o Lic v nse B onr d' s w e b s i t e. A c apy � of the repvrt from that date—Saptcmbcr 14, 2006, is attachcd as Exhibit 2. As can be seCn, as of that date Lujan's liccnsc was under suspensivn. Without a valid licez�se in ePfeet, lt would not be I � lc�al for us to issue � subcontract for the site utility wor�C to Luja�. 5. Latcr that day we wrote and faxed s le'['ter �o Lujan about the situation. A copy vf this t�irst leccer is attachcd hereto as Exhfbit 3. As can be seen, we told Lujan that his license was under suspension over his failurc to have a ticense bond on file with the Board. We stated, in pertinent part. "We currandy have your cotttract rea�y io send but az�e unable to release it under the current circumstances. You will not be allowed on site until this matter is nsolved and proof of bond and insuranca has bcen received by ihis olrce." 6. We did not hear anything from Lujan in response to our first letter. 7. On Friday, September l5, 2006, we wrote and faxed to Luj�n another letter, a copy of which is attached hereto �.s Exhibit 4. As can be seen, this was a 24-hour notice per the requiraments af thc project manual, and stated, in pertinent part, "Please be informed that no fuTtllec notlCeS Will be scnt 10 you.

Tha sito utility plan was finally approved and transmitied to Steton by tha time of the Novcmber 1, 2006 Construction M�cting (Meeting No. 5).

However, Lujan objected to the requost and the and the Lujnn substitutioa onded up on tha .4gency's ag�nda for its January 18, 2007 meeting. 18. Whon wo sQw the proposed aCtion on our rcque�t, we contactcd Stcton's lawytrs and got the matter put av�r to the Board'a Fobruary S, 2007 mccting. and askcd thc A�cacy for copies of whatever I,ujan had �ent to thc Board in opposilion to Steton' request. 19. 'We haw� now sccn thc four pagca that L�jan apparent�y �axed to the Agency on or r�bout Dccember 27, 2006 (copies attachcd as Exhibit 10). RTe aze outz'dged by what we have secn. 20. Of L�jan's Dccemb�r 27, 2406 submxssion, three out of four pages purport to be a le�t�r scnt to Steton on Octobox 23n 2006. �g�ever reacivo� Anv sueL tbin�om Lnian or �nvane elae uuu� we got the eopies attached to Lujan'� Aecomber Z7, Z006 letter $om ihr Agency. 2�. Furth�r, these papers do not show that Lujan ever solved his licenac problem--as of tlie lat[er's date (Deeember Z7, Z006) or as of any time since. In fact, Luian's co�tractors lieense is etill enaaandod—t6ree ond a�month� at'ter we lirst raised the issne to Luia�u iq our So�tember 14. 20Q6 letter: Attached hcreto as Exhibit 11 is a copy vf a printout from the Contraotor's State Licaase Bpard websitc that wa vbtaincd just yesterday—Jartuary 3l, 2007 (see date in lower rigbt-hand comer of the printout}--that shows ttu�t �.ujan still has not gotten the license suspension liftcd. 22. Luj�n's Dacembcr 27, 2006 lettor tv the A�ency slc�rrs th�s �ssue by making rcforences to thc claim that it has obtaincd a ncw license bond. However, note two things: First, thc papers from thc li�cnse bond sutety are all dated Octob�r 20, 2006—five weel�s aft.�r Sleton �'ust comnlaincd to Lujan that Lujan's license was suspcnded--yet in all the time sfnce, Lujan h.�d nevor triad to work its way back fuato the pxoject. Second, so far as l�gality is concemed, tha issua is not whether or not �,ujan has a bond; rather, the Issue is that Lujan's license was and rcmains suslxnded. Nowhere in AB Lujan's December 27, 2006 lcttcr does he claim to have ovcrcome the license saspension that triggered al] of chis in the first plaea, and lhat this o i o i a�,qoc�, snit oosv� R�c�iwd F�b-01-OT 06:2Bam From- -5- To-CITY OF PAIi� DESERT Paa� OA FEB 01 '07 19=33 FP, O � � � 0 8 � a � �s� � �0�8� p � ��. z �"� �8 ������a � ya` °� p i[ � � � Z ` °;�' Q � Z 0 � z Y Q TO 1760340057a P.10i30 sus-penslon is sull in eff'ect as of yesterday per the attached Exhibit 10. 23. LuJan's lettar ropeatedly alaims that it is "roady, willin� and abla" tv perform the work. 'Wc do not boliavca tlsis. We believe that if it waro truc, L�jan would havc straightened out his lieense iesu�s three or four months ago. We bclicvc that if it vv�re true� L�}ja�t would kxave demanded a subeontraci wecks or months a�o. We beliave that if it were uue, Luja� would have been attending construCtiori mce�tings (hc mcntions atte�d�g tixe preconstruedon meeting but fails to mention tliat hc has failed to appcar at the te1� or eleven Construetion Meetings held since then). 24. No. L�jazi is not `�eady. vv�,t�ng 2und able" to perfarm on this project. AB Lujan ncvcr contactcd us—not about ottx lett�zs, not about the project, not about when ho eould expect to raccive a subcontxaet, z�ot about when its work might start—nothing. Instead, he received the ,A,gency's z�otice of Steton's rr�uest to subrtitute, and saw in it an opporiunity to get money for work that he is not going to do. That is why� in his Decembar 27, 200b lottcr, hc thrcat�ns to suc the �gency in the event the substitution is approved. �at threat ia m�anin¢lcss. Lujan cannot �:ue the Ageney for damages if Steton's request to substitutc is approv�d. Thc approval or dcnial of a sub�titution roquest is a discretionary act by tho Agcncy's Board. Thc Agcn�y is immunc from liabilrty far dama�os for such discrctioanry acts. 25. Z'o sec how Lujan's lettcr constitutes vnly mock outrago, just look at the last sentence of it: "A copy of this lcttcr is alsv bain� scnt to the utaiversiry represent�tive." Whai "univcrsity rcprescntative?" This is a Rcdevelopment Ageney project. Eith�r Lujan has no idea ol'what this praject rcally is and who owns it, oT tbds letter is a cannibalization of some previous correspondencc, from somc previous proj�et, with which he had similar problems. 26. Lujan created the need for the substitution, and now threatens le�al action if that substitution fs approved. That is an absurdiry. Denying Steton's request wou]d be tantamount ta commanding Steton to subcontz�ac[ with an unliceused subcontractor. Ihat wauld be similarly absurd. h would be a command that Steton violate B&P Code scction 7118, which prohibits A conuactor from enterin� into a subcontract with another contractor while that contractor is not properly liccnscd. lt would be a command that 5teton violate B&P Coci� seedon 7114, whieh 1 z 3 4 S' 6� 7j I 8 9 l0 11 IZ � l� 3 � aa ! 15 � 16 17 18 � 19 �� i 2Q !i �I 21 �I 22 �, 23 24 2S 26 27 28 QIQ167.UOO13/7210G5v1 � Roc�ivad F�b-01-Oi 06:28pm From- To-CITY OF PALM DESERT P�� 10 FEB 01 '07 18=33 FR FEB-o�-tnnT n�:ic� Fxat 1 2 3 a_ s �: 5 � 8' 9 � zo � 21 - g•�a �z a � � ls 0 � �� � �a �- � �; �� �s � � � � I6 �� �� - �� . 17 � 18_ z � 19 20 � ZI � n � 24 � 25 ' �6 "" 27 . 28 ! o �o i ��,avo��rssaa�v� TO 17603480574 P.ili30 T�4i1 P.001/001 F�217 prahibit� s aoptiactor $om aldinyt auother ut avoiding ths raq�i�e�o of tl� liceaso law.
