John,

It has not moved along at a reasonable pace. Is it on time and on budget? The completion date was moved forward early this year so on time? No. On budget? We wont know that until all of the change orders have been processed but I will let you know that as I will have access to them. Well executed? No. In the greater Boston area, the majority of this work would have been done at night as to have minimal impact on the community. Good Idea? We wont know that until it is complete and there is a traffic pattern study completed. But you havent asked about quality assurance.

Numerous areas of the work have circumvented not only the contract specifications, but also the governing code. For instance. Setting up a concrete reprocessing plant at the foot of a neighborhood and pumping silicate into the air with no dust mitigation is a serious health hazard for the community, not to mention gross code violation. By the way, I have allof the reports.

The contract calls for "CONTINUOUS SWEEPING" during construction. You paid for it , it has never been done to any acceptable level. The code specifically addresses uniformity of pavement and levelness for temporary areas where utility trenches or other excavation has been performed. There is no stipulation for "temporary patches. All patches must meet code which dictates no more than 1/4 inch deviation within 10 linear feet. This section of the code has been completely circumvented.

I could go on and on but I dont like paying for services that you are not receiving. I guess because code compliance is my job I am unable to turn my back to it. Just remember my comments in a year when the cracks begin in the sidewalks, and the potholes start appearing like zits on a teenagers face. It will happen for sure. Not to mention what the plantings will look like in a year.
