IRT 808Ikea, agree with your post.  As a former subcontractor, did contract work for two General Contractors doing contract work, one with the State and another for the C&C that went bad.  We got paid from the bond company, not all but a %.  Something smells in this particular contract.  Why was DCK terminated?  Was it performance or something else.  The article printed says it was for default,  Default?  Or, was there many change orders by the subcontractors to the general and the State did not approve the C/O's?  Was there many inspection rejections by the State which were not corrected by the general or subs?  Or, did the State communicate directly to the subs bypassing the general, thus the suggestion that the State pay the subs?  This kind of mess should never happen at this level.  Something truly smells.  Auwe.
