    Seriously?!!!
    He's somewhat lying and somewhat telling the truth. He sees the same schedule that Lemoine gives out to their subs, architects, and consultants.

    The last word around the beginning of February was it's about a 10 day window at the beginning of March for mobilization. If UL/Carter is slow in returning comments to the DD package and subsequently delays issuing of the CDs and ultimately the bid, then of course that date can change.

    I'm thinking they are talking about a DD package for the addition to the IPF. If they are just reviewing a DD package for the stadium there is no way they are ready to start. They should have had the Bid Package for the stadium done and finished a long time ago.

    The latest schedule I saw had the time frame I posted. With the bid time going into early March. The project is being fast tracked so I'm sure any of those bidding on the job have already seen the Schematic Design and Design Development packages and are familiar with the work to be performed.

    It's pretty typical of Lemoine to let their short list of bidders see the pre-CD docs if they want a accelerated bid cycle.

    This is all about UL athletics. Therefore, it's not when or how we start that is important, it's when and how we finish that is important!!! Just win the construction battle!!!

    Oh My. They are further behind then I thought. Somebody is going to have to bust their butt to get some steel ordered, cut and bent unless they have made some other arrangements to pre-order. A steel supplier would not cut or bend unless a firm order was in hand.

    I think with all of the architects, designers, engineers, construction guys, etc. posting on RP every day, the University should have contacted the Ragin Pagin posters. This construction would have been done yesterday.

    The problems didn't lie with any of those professions.

    It is hard to tell...I am being serious. I am an HR guy. Not a construction guy. In most threads about the MP, posters talk about the technical aspects of engineering, welding, ordering pipe, concrete, etc.

    Yep, I know where the issues were. I was just bragging on all our fellow technical/construction/engineering folks.

    My second, less obvious point, is that on RP, we are Cajun fans first. But in reality, some have careers, families, etc. It's kind of cool to hear about what everyone does for a living.

    Yup. That was the reason I had asked in another thread a while back about their ability to make up time during the summer months.

    I think if they have some groups lined up to start early March, then I think they can start with some ground and demo work for a few weeks maybe. Do you agree? What's the shortest lead time on steel that you have seen? The thought of having equipment and crews idle while you're waiting on materials is usually a pretty undesirable situation for a contractor.
