Just because things don't work out doesn't mean that it's the contractors fault all the time.

This particular contract was best value not lowest bid and it also has federal funding so there is a buy america clause so everything has to be made here in the U.S. Do a little research before typing next time.

The reason for the cracking is more than likely a design error which WSDOT was responsible for not the contractor.

If they want to be here go through the legal steps. They know that if they don't they can work under the table. And as for the argument they do jobs no one else would want to i call BS. I know many people who would do their work, maybe not for $2.00/hr but for minimum wage in a heart beat.

In fact they're loosing more and more business because of the unions there being a bunch of over paid idiots the cost to bring a container vessel in here anymore is through the roof.

The media blows everything out of proportion and never actually gets the facts straight. The media is worthless 99% of the time. Thu, 7 Jun 2012 18:42:22 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/6-employees-suspended-without-pay-over-520-job-site-drinking-157840815.html#IDComment376073568 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/6-employees-suspended-without-pay-over-520-job-site-drinking-157840815.html#IDComment376071412 And even then at 2 or 3 you have emails to finally read and just wind down and reorganize, and while your doing it what's wrong with having a beer or 2. I bet 90% of the people on here have had a few beers after work or a drink in the office plenty of times.

Thu, 7 Jun 2012 18:30:41 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/6-employees-suspended-without-pay-over-520-job-site-drinking-157840815.html#IDComment376067046 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/6-employees-suspended-without-pay-over-520-job-site-drinking-157840815.html#IDComment376066012 Middle of the day at 3 PM which was actually closer to 3:30 on a friday means there was no one left on site working. Their work was done for the day. Get over it already. Thu, 7 Jun 2012 18:28:48 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/6-employees-suspended-without-pay-over-520-job-site-drinking-157840815.html#IDComment376066012 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375934739 Except on the 4 PM news when they sample wine. Thu, 7 Jun 2012 14:28:38 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375934739 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375933287 I love how everyone just jumps on whatever the media says. Drinking on the job NO, drinking in the job office yes but they were no longer on the clock and they're work was wrapped up. They weren't sitting there getting hammered and designing anything. Where is the big fit when KOMO samples wine on the 4 PM news when they're actually on the job being paid. That's a workplace and maybe everyone at KOMO should be fired as well. I see no difference in the cases.

I've got several friends that work there and you couldn't be more wrong about anything you say. Thu, 7 Jun 2012 14:23:16 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375931537 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375930396 i agree 100% especially since these guys were done for the day and just having a beer to unwind, not everyone gets a nice easy 9-5 job where you show up and leave at the end of the day. These guys put in a lot of stressful hours and deserve a beer at the end of the day on a Friday. Thu, 7 Jun 2012 14:21:16 +0000 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Transportation-Secretary-says-520-drinking-was-a-fluke-157624155.html#IDComment375930396 http://www.komonews.com/news/local/Damage-found-in-520-pontoon-built-at-Aberdeen--152075685.html?clmob=y#IDComment364058192 For all the questions above about being faulty contruction or bad engineering on the states part its a pretty simple answer when you think about it especially within the media. If the contractor really was to blame that would be the title of the article. It's simple to check the engineering behind it again and they are obviously questioning their numbers now so "they don't know" what happened until the can figure out how to break the news that they wasted more money.
