These fine men should be applauded by every person in the roofing discipline. Manufacturers, Distributors, Consultants, and Contractors. Most of all, the TAXPAYERS.. It is never a good idea to limit competition in favor of a single vendor on any Public Project.. The significance cannot be properly understood by the layman, but I happen to think it’s the most courageous, dedicated, and tireless, effort I’ve ever seen in this industry. (45 years) My Friends Mr. Scott Hinesley, Mr. Brian Gardner, and Mr. Tom Gernetzke. should wear this achievement as a Badge of Honor.. I’m very happy the Cobb County Commission was receptive to “Fair Competition” for the taxpayers. This affects all 50 States, Canada, and to a degree, the United Kingdom. I’m so happy, I could cry. Thank God I lived to see it. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to EVERYONE who participated in the effort. Tonight, I’m going into my neighbor’s garden (Mrs. Chen), pick some flowers, start building a “Float”. for them, and pull it down Main Street, USA. Much Respect. Robert R.

As an organization that utilizes the Design Bid Build approach, the “devil is in the details”. Make sure that your design professional prepares thorough specifications and drawings. Also, I recommend utilizing a pre-qualified list of contractors to bid. Keep in mind the lowest bid wins, and you have to be careful what you wish for. Reply
