AFFIDAVIT IN SUPPORT OF COLLIER COUNTY
CONTRACTING LICENSE APPLICATION
BEFORE ME, a Notary Public, this date appeared Kevin Murphy (the "Affiant"), who
being by me first duly sworn, deposes and says as follows:
1. I am of legal age and competent to testify in a court of law.
2. All the facts and statements contained herein are true and correct and to my
personal knowledge and I understand that this Affidavit is being provided under oath.
3. This Affidavit is being provided in support of my application for a residential
contractor's license in Collier County, Florida.
4. I was a building contractor in the State of Connecticut or was employed as a
building contractor from 1978 to 2017 which amounts to thirty-nine (39) years of experience as a
building contractor.
5. During my 39 thirty-nineyears of experience a contractor, I
Y ( ) pbuilt homes and
handled various remodeling projects.
6. In 1978, I began working for my father's company, F.H. Murphy & Sons Roofing
("F.H. Murphy") where I began building homes and also handling remodeling projects.
7. In 1986, I formed KLM Contracting ("KLM") and was the owner and President of
KLM.
8. KLM's initial focus was in remodeling of homes.
9. While I owned KLM, I continued to work on projects at F.H. Murphy with my
father and this work was primarily for the construction of new homes and also building
condominiums.
10. My father and I would work for each other's companies depending upon the
economy and work flow.
11. While I was the owner of KLM, I also worked in the field and was working on
residential construction projects for the four (4) years that KLM was in business.
12. In 1990, I was divorced and as a result of the divorce, KLM folded and was no
longer in business.
13. After the divorce and wind-up of KLM, I went back to work for my father at F.H.
Murphy and was again a full-time employee of F.H. Murphy.
10239091.1
14. When I went back to work as a full-time employee of F.H. Murphy, my roll was
running the new home division of F.H. Murphy. In this division, I built and managed the
construction of new custom homes and I also framed homes for other contractors.
15. In 1998, my father had two heart attacks very close together and he closed F.H.
Murphy due to health reasons.
16. In 2003, my father passed away. Therefore, I am unable to get an affidavit from
him to establish my work history under F.H. Murphy as my employer.
17. In 1999, my brother and I formed General Contracting Services, LLC ("General
Contracting") and were the co-owners of General Contracting.
18. General Contracting focused on building custom homes for individuals and
framing homes which were 5,000 square feet and larger.
19. I worked for General Contracting from 1999 to 2009 in residential construction.
20. On or about 2009 with the real estate market crash and also due to differences in
the business plan for General Contracting, my brother and I closed General Contracting.
21. In 2009, after General Contracting closed, I formed Kevin Murphy Design, LLC,
which was also a construction and contracting business, with a primary focus on residential
remodeling projects.
22. I owned Kevin Murphy Design, LLC from its formation in 2009 until its
dissolution in 2013 and during that time, I worked in residential construction and worked under
my company, Kevin Murphy Design, LLC. Copies of the corporate records for all of the
foregoing companies are attached hereto as Exhibit"A"and incorporated herein by reference.
23. From 1978 to 2017, I built hundreds of homes, framed various homes, structures
and condominiums, remodeled countless homes, and even worked on a four story naval officer's
quarters in Groton, Connecticut.
24. In 2016, I was diagnosed with stage two throat cancer. Because of this diagnosis,
I later moved to Naples in 2017 with my wife to live out the rest of our lives in the warmer
climate.
25. Once I relocated to Florida and became settled, I formed K & B Murphy
Residential Building Solutions, Inc., a Florida corporation, in order to be able to work in the
residential building industry in Collier County, Florida.
26. Because I was an owner of KLM, General Contracting, and Kevin Murphy
Design, I was my own employer.
10239091.1 L
27. In order to supplement the documentation for my application, I am providing this
Affidavit on behalf of KLM, General Contracting, and Kevin Murphy Design, as a "former
employer" to further establish my work history as a contractor for over a four (4) year period of
time.
28. The additional affidavits and notarized letters I provided with my application
further establish my working history and also that I was working as a contractor in the State of
Connecticut either for or as owner of the following companies F.H. Murphy, KLM, General
Contracting, and Kevin Murphy Design for over a four (4) year period of time.
29. In support of my application, I provided the following to establish my work
experience in the State of Connecticut:
a. Affidavit of Verification of Construction Experience from B&D Landscaping/Bryan
Bentley ("B&D");
• B&D holds a Home Improvement Contractor license with the State of
Connecticut and was a subcontractor who worked landscaping jobs for the
homes I was building.
• The B&D Affidavit establishes my work history when I was an
owner/employer and also afterwards.
• This Affidavit establishes my work experience from 1995 to present, which
represents a 23 year history.
b. Notarized Letter from Jeffrey G. Michelson of Jeffrey G. Michelson Custom Homes
LLC ("Michelson Homes");
• Michelson Homes hired me to work on framing new homes from 1998 to
2003.
• This Affidavit establishes my work experience from a third party employer
from 1998 to 2003, which is a five (5) year work history, in which I was
directly working for Michelson Homes.
c. Notarized Letter from Creative Communities Builders, Ltd. ("Creative");
• This Affidavit establishes my work experience for over twenty (20) years,
including when I worked at F.H. Murphy and afterwards.
• This Affidavit references over 50 residential projects that I worked on with
Creative during this period of time.
d. Affidavit of Verification of Construction Experience from Thomas P. Hurley, Vice
President of The Hurley Manufacturing Company ("Hurley")
• This Affidavit establishes my work experience from March 23, 2015 to
September 6, 2017, which is just prior to when I moved to Florida.
10239091.1
• Hurley hired me as an employee and I handled residential renovations for
Hurley during this time.
e. Notarized Letter from Johnnycakes Mountain Associates, Inc. ("Johnnycake");
• This Affidavit establishes my work experience working with Johnnycake for
the last ten (10) years, including on a project with Johnnycake for a 1000
acres residential development.
f. Affidavit of Verification of Construction Experience from Frank Carfiro of Northwest
CT Realty ("Carfino")
• The Affidavit also establishes my experience from 1988 to present from a
client and realtor who sold the homes that I built in Connecticut.
• Carfino is a former client. I built his home for him and Carfino establishes that
in the Affidavit.
30. In support of my application, I provided the following additional permitting
information to establish my work experience in the State of Connecticut:
a. Certificate of Use and Occupancy from the Winchester Building Department
with a permit I pulled having an issue date of 6/24/2002 and an approval date
of 1/28/2003.
b. Certificate Occupancy from the Town of Barkhamsted under General
Contracting, LLC issued 10/29/2007 with a permit pulled on 6/25/2007.
c. Certificate of Use and Occupancy from the Winchester Building Department
under General Contracting, LLC issued on 3/7/2007 with the permit issued on
10/2/2006.
d. Building Permit from the Town of Barkhamsted under General Contracting,
LLC issued 6/25/2007.
e. Building Permit from the Town of New Hartford under Francis H. Murphy
dated 1/28/1988.
f. Planning & Zoning/Inland Wetlands Permit from the Town of New Hartford
under Francis H. Murphy dated 10/8/1987.
g. Building Permit from the Town of New Hartford under Francis H. Murphy
dated 10/8/1987.
h. Building Permit from the Town of New Hartford under Francis H. Murphy
dated 10/10/1985.
i. Planning & Zoning/Inland Wetlands Permit from the Town of New Hartford
under Francis H. Murphy dated 5/31/1985.
j. Building Permit from the Town of New Hartford under Francis H. Murphy
dated 10/10/1984.
k. Planning& Zoning/Inland Wetlands Permit under F.H. Murphy.
1. Building Permit from the Town of New Hartford pulled by owners for project
by F.H. Murphy dated 12/5/1983.
10239091.1
31. I did not always personally pull the permits for the homes I built. Some of the
permits were pulled by the company I worked under or for. Other times, the permits were pulled
by the owners.
32. I did submit a list to Collier County of some of the addresses of the properties that
I built, but I was not able to pull the permits for those properties.
33. Because I tried to no avail to get additional permits and documents by calling
various building departments, in May 2018, I traveled to the State of Connecticut to meet with
the building department official, Mr. Mark Melanson, from the Town of Winstead Building
Department. He provided me with the additional permits referenced in Paragraph 28 (e) through
(1) above.
34. The indexing of permits and certificates of occupancy are by address and you
cannot run a search by the applicant or name of the contractor who pulled the permits. Therefore,
without knowing all the addresses of properties I built, I am unable to research and pull many of
the permits I obtained.
35. I was also told by Mr. Mark Melanson that many of the records for past pulled
permits have been lost or are not able to be located, especially the older records before online
record keeping. Therefore, I obtained the additional permits that I was able to get with Mr.
Melanson's help.
36. I asked if Mr. Melanson would provide me with an affidavit stating that the City if
Winsted lost or could not locate some of its permit records, but he was unwilling to do so in an
affidavit on behalf of the City.
37. While I tried to obtain additional permits and certificates of occupancy, I have
been unable to obtain them despite using due diligence.
38. I also submitted some of the online records from the State of Connecticut
licensing records showing the various companies I owed or worked under were licensed in the
State of Connecticut and have established records from 2008 to 2009, 2011 to 2012, and
2/11/2014 to 11/30/2014.
39. I have prior tax returns that I am willing to provide showing that I was an owner
of the various companies and that these companies were in the business of residential
contracting.
40. I believe that I have established the relevant forty-eight (48) month prior work
experience required to be licensed as a residential contractor as provided in Collier County Code
Section 22-162 and 22-183.
41. Although I believe that I have established my work experience as a residential
contractor for a forty-eight (48) month sequential period, nothing in Collier County Code Section
22-162 and 22-183 indicates that the relevant experience must be for four(4) consecutive years.
10239091.1 5
42. I believe that I have provided sufficient supporting documentation as required by
Collier County Code Section 22-183(b) to establish proof of my experience for over a four (4)
year period.
43. Nothing in Collier County Code Section 22-183(b) requires an applicant to
provide all the items in subsection (1) through (5); however, I believe that I have provided
evidence in regard to items (1), (2), (3) and (5).
44. I was never a member of any union.
45. As far as prior certificates of competency, in the State of Connecticut, they issue
licenses for Home Improvement Contractors. There is no test required for this license, but it is all
regulated by the State of Connecticut and the licensing department. This is the license that all
residential builders hold in the State of Connecticut.
46. Although the application and licensing process in the State of Connecticut may
differ from the State of Florida, I have always been properly licensed in the State of Connecticut
as a contractor.
47. I have been and continue to be more than willing to provide any additional
documentation in support hereof that I can reasonably obtain.
