Report Inappropriate Comments

Another ridiculous statement Rick. The project is not complete as of this date. Further, there has been no comment from DOT as to the quality of the project or to the adherence to code. Let me also remind you that there has been one death on the project. As for as to adherence to code, there have been hundreds of documented code violations from improper fill, lack of required dust mitigation, lack of continuous sweeping, inconsistent grade, gross lack of compaction, etc, etc, etc. These issues have not only been documented by myself, but also by the onsite inspectors. All of these issues impact the quality of life of the surrounding residents. Also, not one of the political hacks posing for the photo op have ever questioned any of the issues on the project even when they have fielded numerous calls from constituents. Unfortunately, the state has chosen to turn their back and not enforce the Blue Book. (That would be the Rhode Island Specification for Road and Bridge Design).

So in the end they will boast that the job comes in on time and on budget with but no statements of quality. I cant wait to see what the plantings look like 6 months after the project is complete and also the spaulling of the concrete that takes place from improper fill. From and inspection point of view it is a complete abortion. One other note Rick, are you aware that National Grid, being a foreign corporation, is not held to the standard of code compliance as local contractors?
