lowballers.... "I hate these guys"
My company put in on this project and the next lowest bid was $1 Million dollars under ours for the asphalt and concrete work. My bosses head was spinning with anger and we wanted to contest it, but there were too many people that low also you had to just laugh at any of these people making one bit of profit. Stupid asses underbid their project and material costs, not to add to it the firm who did the project management for them. I wonder who it was... Barnhart... McCoy....
Not to include they found a huge methane reserve under the site halfway through building it. HEY MORONS THATS WHAT ENVIRONMENTAL TESTERS ARE FOR BEFORE YOU EXCAVATE!!!!! DRILL DRILL DRILL!! TEST TEST TEST!!!
Fucking amateurs!! I hope they all get suspended from any LAUSD project or anything for the city of that matter to all those construction firms who bid super low. Better yet I hope they all went bankrupt and close shop.
But the material costs and oil prices kind of made us glad we didn't bid on it, about 23 days worth of work I estimated and when we revised the estimates for the material costs to this date we would have only made a couple thousand. *sweating* because you don't want to be on the line when the project starts going over in the red.
Techs thought they had tough bosses, come over to the construction industry you would be crying in no time sucking back 3 packs a day and lots of energy drinks.02
