Dobson Brothers & Wyatt Earp Blve

I have heard from several reliable sources that the company that is doing the Wyatt Earp reconstruction has filed for bankruptcy. Could be awhile before they get the mess finished. BrakHard has been pouring some of the sidestreet approaches. I guess that's what happens when you take the "low bid"!!

It's not uncommon for a general contractor to 'sub-out' elements of a project.

Why does this stuff go on?? The "guessing game" is what I mean Why not phone one of the commishes and point blank ask em?..... Why not put a call into the city manager and ask him?......... Why is it dodge is always playin the guessing game?

Ya'lls citygovt seems to be so accessable - that's one of the nice things about LaMarque - it's small like dodge........... hell city hall is packed daily with folks voicin thier opinion on one thing or the other and we take low bids all the time - it's the govt way of doin business.

People just love to start rumors like this. Years back when the Wyatt Earp street project to the east was in progress, the company that was doing that job was rumored to be going bankrupt several times during that job, yet they are still in business to this day.

They have to go back to the bond that the contractor had to secure the job, then hire someone to finish it.

Did you ever think that they might be ahead of their schedule and they gave workers a long weekend to go home and visit their families? They are from Lincoln, NE you know. They were here just the other day cause I just about had a Dobson Bros. Const. pickup run me over.
