The bid documents specifically said "NON-SUB-CHAPTER 8"(available upon request). Global was the low bidder on this project. No union companies bothered to bid on this project. I find it ironic that they are demonstrating on Park Ave, and calling my office demanding that the job goes to a union contractor, or that we sign a CBA (Collective Bargaining Agreement) which will triple the cost to the school, when they themselves had none of their signatory contractors bid on this project. That is just like demonstrating in front of the state lottery commission complaining you didn't win the lottery and all the while you never bought a ticket! The stop work order was placed on the building when we (Global) were informed that the building was to be a school. The state DCA inspector had us stop all asbestos removal in our original contract. Removal of any asbestos containing material pertains directly to the stop work order. All work in the building has stopped in order to allow a NJ licensed ASCM (Asbestos Safety Control Monitoring) firm to quantify and qualify all material in the building and draw up Plans and specifications as per NJ sub-chapter 8 rules and regulations. We stopped working on this project the second we were informed of school ownership. Contrary to the the original bid documents (AVAIL AT PLAINFIELD BUILDING DEPT)which say that the building is a private job and non-sub 8. The stop work order is a necessary implementation from the building inspector as per UCC code. We are in full compliance with all state, federal, and local laws and will continue with the work as soon as we obtain new building permits based on the ASCM scope of work.<br /><br />Mark Jovic<br />General Manager <br />Global Safety Contracting Corp.<br />www.globalsc.usAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
