C'mon, Tony. That would be a sign of good faith and the OP has no
faith in contractors. Especially those they owe money to.

)If) the story is as straight as this one side says it
is, I would set in the 60 grand as a bargaining tool
until it is settled where both sides agree. 60 thou is
a sizable bargaining tool.

Good advice everyone. Yeah, there are some things I will do
differently next time, like a written contract. Nevertheless, your
advice--both sides--is encouranging, everyone. I'll let you know how
it goes. Thanks!!!

A written bid with a signature of acceptance most likely will be considered
a contract.
