They aren't sure whether they want to give their AD a contract. I'd take this guy as AD tomorrow.
Wow! It makes common sense in this post but I'm selling crap? In one sentence you state everything I've said doesn't make sense and is a large load of crap, and in another sentence in the very same post you admit you have no sources. So you came to a conclusion, but have no sources. It really shows how much of a Farmer sycophant you are after being MIA for about a week and now showing up in this thread after you hear Jay Walker. There seems to be a number of faceless buffoons on Ragin' Pagin and a some of them hide behind screen names calling other posters out and demanding sources while they have none outside Jay Walker and Scott Farmer. Next time you post about my crap, make sure you wear a pair of boots before you step in a pile of your own ____!
What is now plain and simple is that a contract should not have even been awarded without having funds available/committed much less an NTP being issued.
It is possible that a capable contractor like The Lemoine Company can make up for lost time, key word is possible. The fact that the delays were not caused by Lemoine though would probably result in increased costs for the project if Lemoine does indeed complete work in time for the early 2017 season. That is something that could be negotiated while work is ongoing during the contract period or could result in an eventual claim against Louisiana if Lemoine is forced to complete work in less than the original contract time period.
Yeah, pretty much. What basin said was very plausible. What you said was completely freakin idiotic.
You're an idiot if you think that Farmer or whoever was involved in this ever thought they would be able to get their hands on $17 million dollars by June 2017 without some sort of financing, especially when the biggest donor wasn't even scheduled to fulfill his pledge until 2022. That's not how it works. You get pledges, you get some cash in hand, then you make up the rest with a bridge loan or bond or other type of financing until the rest of the cash comes in.
There very well may be incompetence involved here. I don't know. Pretty soon a real member of the media is going to get a chance to do some good journalism and we'll get the real story here.
In the meantime, I'm still excited that we're getting a 17 million dollar baseball stadium. I don't really give a sh if it gets delayed by a couple weeks. I suppose that makes me "part of the problem" right?
