Is that Modern Continental or the other one.
I remember that Modern Continental under bid every other company to haul the dirt away. The other companies said that it was impossible for them to do it that cheaply.
After they won the bid they said "Oops, we under estimated how much it would cost" and they jacked up the price to haul the dirt to more than some of the other companies had bid.
MA is just dirty.

Yep, Modern. I worked for a specialty subcontractor, and Modern wouls sefl-perform the work we specialized in. You could see a clear difference in our work versus theirs. Also, wherever there are major leaks from slurry wall joints, it's in moderns sections, not ours.

I recall being at one bid opening. Modern Continental was 57 million dollars lower than anyone else. That's a lot of fricing money to make up with change orders.

The worst on the whole project are Bechtel/Parsosn Brinkerhoff, though. They were paid for oversight of the wholejob, and they thoroghly sucked. There was no coordination of adjoining contracts and design sections.

BTW, who is the other contractor you are thinking of?
