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).
Exactly. Public works contracting is a PITA because of anti-cronyism provisions. Stuff like this is the price we all pay for that.
Bull. I spent 45 years on construction sites. Mistakes are made by the worst contractors and the best. Paying more doesn’t guarantee perfection. Human error is always a factor.
With the fines put on the company for the delay and the cost of construction defect repair. It will most likely put the company out of business.
I work in the public projects sector and it sounds like this contract is being managed properly. Things happen, and the contractor pays for his own mistakes plus pays liquidated damages for project delays.
