[StBernard] House Demolition

[Westley Annis]

Westly, I  sent  the narrative that Ddk wrote to a friend of mine that is a
large commercial demolition contractor out of Alabama for his oppinion. He
had been doing work in New Orleans and St. Tammany. Here is his reply: J.

	JILL, 
	 
	WE ARE NOT INVOLVED NOW BECAUSE THE CONTRACTS THAT WERE SUPPOSED TO
BE REBID IN FEBUARY WERE NOT.   THEY WERE GIVEN TO HALIBURTON IN SEPT AND
ITS GOING TO STAY THAT WAY.    I DONT THINK  (OPINION ONLY)  THAT WHEN YOU
ALLOW THE MUNICIPALITY(FEMA) TO TAKE THE HOUSE DEBRIS AWAY, THAT YOU WILL
FORFIT ANY FUTURE MONIES.  IT SOUNDS LIKE A CONTRACTOR IS TRYING TO CONVINCE
HOMEOWNERS TO GO AHEAD AND PAY TO HAVE IT REMOVED BEFORE THE GOVERNMENT
CONTRACTOR MAKES IT AROUND.  SPECULATION!!!
	THE 7 GRAND THAT HES SPEAKING OF IS WHAT THE GOVERNMENT CONTRACTOR
IS GETTING PAID FOR REMOVAL PER HOUSE, AND HES HAVING TO DEAL WITH MILES OF
REDTAPE.  THIS GUY WANTS TO GET THE GRAVEY AND RUN.  IF THE FEMA CONTRACTOR
IS GETTING 7200.00
	PER HOUSE , HES PAYING HIS CONTRACTOR PROBABLY LESS THAN 2K TO
ACTUALLY DO THE JOB.  AVERAGE HOUSE WOULD HAVE 10LOADS OR 200 YDS   200 YDS
X $36 PER YD  (GOV RATE) =  7200.00.    IM NOT THERE SO I CAN ONLY
SPECULATE.    BUT THE INDEPENDENT GUY IS JUST TRYING TO MAKE THE SAME AS
HALIBURTON.  THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT HALIBURTON HAS MULTIPLE TIERED
CONTRACTORS SO EVERYBODYS ONLY GETTING A SMALL PIECE OF THAT 7200.00 AND
HAVING TO FINACE THE ENTIRE PROJECT PLUS DEAL WITH THE RED TAPE. SO YOU SEE
IF THE INDEPENDENT GETS 7200.00 HES GETTING THE SAME AS HALIBURTON WITHOUT
ANY STRINGS ATTACHED AND TAKING THE ENTIRE 7200.00. TO THE BANK.   MY GUESS
IS THAT WITH ALL THE CONTRACTORS WANTING A PEICE OF THE PIE WHEN IT SETTLES
DOWN, 
	THE STREET PRICE WILL BE ABOUT HALF 3600.00 FOR THE ENTIRE JOB FOR
THOSE WHO CHOOSE NOT TO WAIT FOR THE GOV CONTRACTOR.   CHECK THE FEMA DOCCS,
BUT I CANT IMAGINE A DEMO RELEASE WILL PRECLUDE YOU FROM FURTHER ASSISTANCE.

	AGAIN ONLY SPECULATION.  
	 
	HOPE YOUR WELL 
	IF WE CAN HELP LET US KNOW 
	 
	 
	REGARDS
