TIGUE UPDATE?

[CrazyCajun]

Sounds like he talked to the contractor

Why are we paying to get our concourses chopped up? We could have gotten tech and monroe fans to do that for free.

Is this info from Lemoine? Someone on-site, or another connection?

Yes to all the above

[scotto_25]

Sounds like he talked to MAT

Feel free to ignore me

Update:

The contract is signed....Still no NTP "notice to proceed".

They will continue to do the "minor - necessities" while on location but there IS NO TIMETABLE on the NTP / Demo / Construction.

Right now they will tear up the plants and trees, Lourdes park, and parking lot. They will complete the re-routing of electrical wiring and THAT'S IT GUYS. They have nothing else planned. There are interviews going on for sub-contractors right now, but that's just "procedural".

IMO, this gets dragged out longer than Lamson's reno.

THIS ISN'T GOOD

What I heard over the weekend (and although I will not reveal my source... they are directly connected)... is that engineering is actually not complete. And Lemoine... as most contractors have a habit of doing... has already announced that the cost is above the original budget. Everyone is busting it to get the cost issues resolved before diving in head first. I do not know, and neither did this individual, if there's a problem with funding with respect to the original planned project.

I'll be skeptical until a live oak gets cut down.

Concrete for the electrical banks

I'll be skeptical until a live oak gets cut down.

And when they are those threads will make these threads seem like a garden party.

El jefe esta Scott Farmer. El no tiene pantolones de nino grande.

The little wigs from Martin Hall are reading RP. You wanna be that little college with the little budget and the little facilities? Put your little boy pants on and step it up!!!!

You let your buddy know that if they fire farmer.. Ragin Pagin will pay for the overrun.

This sounds credible... I have read through all the doomsday threads.. Can someone point me to a credible source that says some of the funding has been pulled? Ive seen nothing but innuendo and attacks on the administration but cannot find where someone credible said $xxx was being pulled... Simple question

I always said that if the finish project looks like the billboard they had at the Tigue showing interior and exterior, I will be completely surprised.

Perhaps a FOI about the sources of funding. Pretty sure the funding shouldn't be mostly from UL funds.

I'd be okay with that, but that's not how it was sold.

I'm not saying there is or isn't a problem with funding (I personally do not know). The person I talked to over the weekend knows exactly what I stated... but didn't indicate they knew anything about the funding being jacked up. That doesn't mean it isn't.

I believe some things will come to light in a short time.
