Lousy Spa Contract?

So we started this process last summer. Took weeks to get PB to put together a decent contract and I’m not even sure it was. Then problems, delays beginning with layout in Feb. Now because of his poor planning there is not enough deck space for a stand alone spa, so we are considering converting an existing area of the pool to a very small semi circle 3 person spa. Right now pool has rebar. So he’s charging me $13,000 for this. Truthfully, I’d like to fire him and have someone else finish but lord what a challenge that would be. So he sends me a vague change order saying he’ll install a jacuzzi for $13,000. Not many details included. So I asked for more details and he sends this. Should there not be a specification of how many jets and what kind? Also, what else is missing in this? Really $13,000 due to his FU (we were detailed and anal about the layout because it was being done before we did an addition and we wanted to make sure there was room, but he just came and laid out the pool without using the plans of measurements and then we had issues with the grotto having enough room and he pulled out 5 of our very expensive trees without asking) and he sends yet another crappy contract that lacks information. Please look it over and let me know what’s missing. Thank you. IMG_3291.jpeg
 
Will the spa have venturi air vents or a spa blower?

What filter pump are you getting? Can your filter pump give adequate pressure for the number of spa jets?

What size suction and return pipes?

Great, thanks! I have NO clue. I did ask about the pressure. He said 6 jets which I think share with the pool. We have a separate pump for the slide, waterfall, and bubbler. I’m sure not a blower. As far as suction and return pipes, no clue. So I will ask about those things, but if you can tell me what I should have it’ll be easier to communicate with him.
