The downtown ball park is going to create a lot of work for local contractors. Right?
The city web site has a section dedicated to the construction of the park. This sentence tells us a lot: “For a complete list of bidders and those selected to work on components of the project, please click here.”
Well I did. We have:
Grant Mackay–demolition–Utah
Berkel & Company–soil retention–Kansas
Night Eyes Protective Services–security–El Paso
Infrastructure Constructors–mass grading–could not find
Berkel & Company–augur cast–Kansas
D’Ambra Construction–augur cast–Rhode Island?
Concrete Specialties–concrete–looks like C. F. Jordan El Paso
W & W Steel LLC–steel–Oklahoma?
Coreslab Structural, Inc–precast–could not find
I certainly did not see any household names that we would recognize here in El Paso.
Maybe now that the big stuff has been doled out some of our El Paso companies will get some crumbs.
Rumor on the street is that the bids are coming in high because of the extremely short time-line and the cost of running crews 7 x 24.
We deserve better

Where’s the work for my family? I’ve been accused of blogging in exchange for contracts – where are the ballpark contracts for me?
I’m guessing someone is lying about how that all works.
