Indeed. This is a testing my ability to stay calm...

As Vetran says, a full report in progress....straight to the point....

Any advice would be welcome as I wish to speak to him later regarding a contract extention and a rate increase.

Stop inviting him to meetings and get the team to take the decisions without him. Sooner or later he'll get angry and ask why he wasn't in on a decision, then you tell him he gave the impression of not wanting to take part in the meetings where decisions are made.

you have written him a completely factual report with the causes and log files to back it up. No speculation or conclusions required, you can add positive recommendations to avoid in future (show working) .

Assuming at least one senior manager has some technical knowledge that should deflect the pain.

When he twats you, get him fired and take his job. Then give yourself a rise.

Simples.
