    I would agree with Mark and make admin building a shopping mall,because millions spending on that building since 2018 and not a single office in there,all the government office are occupying private spaces which belongs to family and friends of those departments,so clearly our taxpayers money are going into the pocket of those crooks rather than developing the country.

      Why fix it to accommodate hotels when we need the government departments back in there from first of all to stop renting buildings, that is money to use on another critical matter and secondly to have services in one local area/building. It just does not add up. What exactly is action dude after?

    This is a new building. How can the roof already be leaking if it was built correctly

      The people who built it originally. JT only completed it. Blaming a minster like they are the ones doing the actual work is a joke. We need to begin holding people who’s getting paid from our Tax accountable.

    Usually roofs come with a 20 year warranty, so someone did not do their job. A ten week fix seems like a roof replacement. The building is not that big. Usual poor planning producing poor performance at champagne prices. You’d think somewhere along the way we’d have learned to do things right. There’s so many examples of wasted monies (hospital, admin bldg, Pier Park, Prospect Reef, Joe’s Hill, Biwater come to mind) but collectively we don’t seem to care.

    So is this contract figure correct, $562,100.00 to replace ice and water seal on a concrete roof. So when the sun heat the concrete what will happen to the glue that is holding it to the concrete. Omg.
    If you are going to fix the roof, fix it properly.
    This is like placing asfalt on a concrete road where water runs heavenly when it rains, the asfalt will move with the water flow if it's not bonded properly. Wow.
    When a good heavy rain comes again and the water settles on that roof it will find a way to get under that seal and leak into the building again causing it to be closed and another $562,000.00 to be paid to another company to repair it again. Wow

    I have a question for Larry the lobster, we are aware of all the contracts being issued to contractors for government projects. The clinic roof is 562,100., the small shed in beef island was 271,000.00, west road project 14,000,000.00 but why are we not seeing the contract amount for the repair of the back road to hog heaven and north sound but continue to listen to me. Red brag about how much millions he have after the contract. Larry the lobster please how much of our tax payers money was spent.
