This is such a joke, I hope to be called as a witness - Dave Spaulding mentioned in article called me about 3 weeks ago and said that SARAA attorney would be contacting me. We just happened to be in the top mix of bidders. We of course were positive knowing that all the copper and allied T had been stripped from the wiring as well as the condensors. Any one that knows anything about Power Plant demolition was a positive number because the abatement was $2+ million and there was 8,000 tons of scrap steel that off set that. The good part for chuck denino was he avoided paying PW because he bought the job, which saved $500,000 in abatement wages, then his asbestos company convinced PA DEP that instead of removing all the friable material from the inside of the brick units that they could topple the units inside the boiler house - which of course saved more labor but inflated the disposal # because of the heavy weight of brick.

The industry needs less companies like Pittsburgh Demolition who screw up and try to blame their stupidity on someone else. I figured after leaving so much money on the table in the first bid that he would wise up, but instead he sues for a re-bid and then bids less on the second bid. At the 1st bid opening Chuck kept saying "oh this guy will be negative" - the authority reads the number -huge positive #, "this guy always buys jobs" - big positive #, by the 18th bidder this guy is panting - big sweat marks on his shirt, looks like he was going to need a crash cart. Then he bids that same way on 2nd re-bid, what a total $%&k head, numbskull. I see him on job walks and can't believe that someone so foolish can still be in business. NASDI had the best bid and should have gotten the job. It would have been done by now.
