And their contractor was a private companyCorrect. A contractor the GOVERNMENT hired to do the work, which was probably done through a bidding process, and CHOSEN by THEM to do the work. A contractor that charged MORE than the other company, to do the same job (both buildings got new sidewalks). The one the GOVERNMENT chose and paid (of course using the homeowner's funds as they lien the property) did a worse job than the one the other owner chose himself to do the job. I didn't say all private enterprise did things well, of course there are good contractors and there are bad contractors. The GOVERNMENT chose the bad contractor. So much for the government doing things better....they are the ones that CHOSE the inferior contractor. It sounds like what was really needed was a City inspector to be present to check the mix and test the concrete, but then people would complain about government workers getting paid to stand around and do nothing. In this case, they may or may not have a warranty with this inferior contractor. But what a waste of time, funds, materials, and inconvenience because the GOVERNMENT chose to work with this contractor. Who knows how many other jobs they botched up as they did on this street. And this is not at all atypical of government run or chosen work. And you didn't address the barricade issue with the MTA..... Another example of government waste. |
