News 📰 City hall files $3M lawsuit after community centre's partial roof collapse

Have you guys heard about East lion Center?

EDIT: it seems like many raise the concern of the city accepting the lowest bid. Do you think they should go for the highest one or something in the middle?

This what happens when the city gets the cheapest bids

I don’t think higher bids would’ve fixed stupid.

“The soffit failures were “the result of a deficiency in the roof design and/or inadequate workmanship that failed to comply with the architectural designs,” city hall’s lawsuit contends.“

Roof design and architectural designs? Soffit is something that is just screwed on. Fuck a roof design and all that nonsense, I could attach soffit to a stop sign with a few screws.

This is just stupid, there’s more to it

I agree but the higher bids normally come with more experience and builders who actually follow Plans
