the whole thing in a nut shell for those people out there need to have it dumbed down to them is that contractors are being allowed to pilliage the states coffers just as if the huns an then viking where pillaging them thank you

minority or whatever they all need to be held to the states standards an for they to have to abide by the rules an the states speceficiations for roads an bridges an for these standards speceficiations to once again have some teeth put in to them to the point that contractors arent being allowed to get paid twice for non-speceficiaition work that is done on state highway projects across this state an they taxpayers are being force by the ncdot's mangers an mangament ( exective an upper mangamennt alike) to let contracting firms get away with the completion of highways after knowingly have signed off on the bad non-speceficiaition work thus allowing for contractors to have ground for the fileing of additional claims against the state an the taxpayers which then entiles these sorry contractors to be able to file additional claims an to actually get paid for these bad claims resulting in the states taxpayers having to bite the perverbal bullett allow these contractors that have done no

Me Also, WHAT? Rowe bids on a lot of large jobs, Small contractors usually dont have the equipment to do the work, and they aint dumb enough to bid on work they cant do or have the equipment. The larger CO's leave the smaller jobs. It works! might not meet someones aff. action quota. Our Gov. is getting too big and stupid,, it needs to be cut down to size,,Re elect no one

Affirmative Action: it looks good on paper and sounds good to a politician... but it ends up being problematic in practice.

I thought we were supposed to go with the lowest bid!
