The whole project seemed to fly under the radar for ethics. The project seemed to just "slip" unde the City of Indianapolis "legal" wire for consultation without bid number. If I remember correctly, it was about $300k. Funny, I bid $90k for the same work and was told the project was "negotiated. Oddly enough. The contractor tolr me last month he would rather have had taken the dome down with a ball instead of the aggravation caused by poor fragmention. Call Curtis Schopp and verify this.
I forgot, if you think I'm being untruthful, you're wrong. I hired an attorney to find out I'd be wasting any more money trying to fight. I apologize for changing the subject.
I'd prefer having Engineers or Architects writing specs. They have to account for any errors or omissions. We don't, we just get the extras!
If you didn't have anything to do with writing the specs then how in the heck did the prime demolition contractor know how to prepare the structure?
How could anybody bid the job if they didn't know what was required?
And I still have a little bit of a problem being told that on a public project what somebody got for an extra is "nobody's business". I think there are a few taxpayers that would have a little problem with this.
I can say "let the contractor decide", you can say "let the architect/engineer decide"......
In my opinion I'm right. In your opinion you are right. That is why we have Democrats and Republicans, why we have forums such as this to express our opinions and experiences, it's called freedom of choice!
If someone outsells the product I am selling, good for them. If I outsell the competion, good for me. Last time I checked, the good old USA was still a capitalist society.
Outselling is one thing. Underhanding is another. When someone sneaks in the back door and keeps the buyer blindfolded...it is not capitalistic, it's gray area communistic. We always invite Owners/Architects to call our competitors. We even give them the phone numbers for our competition! Foolish... maybe, ethical...100%! Competition comes from more than 1 person vying for the same trophy. Is this the case?
