my name is ray horn, r & i glass works a glazing company in city county of san francisco, a lbe. we are here today-i'm here to plead for dealings on behalf of my company and family. i entered into subcontract with buller construction in january 2020 for department of public works for the 109 window replacement. i'm here to ask for help as i feel i have exhausted all my avenues for relief and i am suffering from a lack of advocacy for what i thought was available to the lbe contracting community. i submitted a claim to dpw the city attorney which was denied, because denied due to statute of limitations. the claim was submitted within a year of the project closing date, but dpw and the city opted to choose the close it-deny on a unidentifiable date and so i'm in the process of appealing against the statute of limitations, but i have no expectation of fairness as i have been treated unfairly to this day. as one of the few remaining black subcontractors in san francisco, this is attempt obtaining fairness and equity on a contract, so, i don't have my glasses so i can't read too good.
