What happens when low bid decides who gets the contract.

Retired former Virginia “Class A” (unlimited in $$$) general contractor with 100% satisfied clients in 10 years of being in business, many being Fortune 500 companies & 7 figure NEGOTIATED contracts (not bid).

So, who caught the error? And how safe will the fix be - bonding new concrete to old? Wonder what else might be wrong? I would let the contractor have the “honor” of being the first to try the new bridge......

Affirmative Action?

I remember when they were building a bridge across the Mississippi at New Orleans. The approaches on one side of the river didn’t line up with the approaches on the other side. It was discovered by an engineering student who was practicing with some equipment.

So who was supposed to inspect the work?
