Soggy soil? Are you geniuses just now trying to tell us that there is a soil problem on the hill? Is the cdp, cncc, and hospital that stupid? This town has known that there is bad soil on that hill for over twenty years. Why do you think no one has built on it? What stupid idiot surveyed the site and didn't walk away with the knowledge that the ground isn't suitable to build on unless you take half of it away and bring in new dirt? All hou have to do is dig a fence post hole to realize the soil up there is pure crap.
And and and and now the hospital and CNCC are shocked that there “might” be some cost over runs? Are you serious? Serious? What a bunch of idiots we have. Oh oh oh and the article says the “hospital may have the same problem.” They already know they have to drill holdes to heck and back to pour concrete pillars in the slim hope that they can get a sure foundation to build on. And that is just a crap shoot in its self. 10 years from now you'll see major problems. That building wont' last twenty years.
The clowns they hired to put in the road (DCS) are now going to be doing more work?!. Has anyone seen what they already put in up there? CNCC is giving these clowns a blank check. Sadly it has been Stan who has informed the deaf ear of Craig about these problems months and months ago, but I guess $2.7 million speaks louder than a public forumn. Now Stan is telling us how CNCC and TMH are cutting back room deals so they don't have to go through a bid process. Diversified Consultants sold them both on a load of crap that a “change order” on the existing bid for TMH would be cheaper than sending out new bids for the CNCC 9th street (can you spell loop hole?). Boy did they sucker you fools. Now that the can of worms has been opened up you will see that $700,000 bid jump 15%, 20% or MORE!. And there is nothing you can do about it. Do ya think you should have gone after a new bid now? Sounds like John Sattler with DCS is going to be able to afford that new boat this year after all. My favorite part is how CNCC met with the City. Ya think they are asking the city to make up the differene? This is just the tip of the iceberg of cost over runs this community is going to be asked to pay for as Harry and Loyd begin there projects. God be with us all……..

those jokers could build a road if they had to. now they will make the pads for the hospital and cncc your right globe the buildings will end up on the bottom of the hill in twenty years unless some extreme engineering is added on to fix the soil conditions and the hospital will fork over the dough because they have no backbones and they are probably getting kick backs. I watched them build the road last year what a complete joke no compaction. Didn;t do the lifts right to build up the road. isn;t on grade, the water, sewer and utilities were not installed right. someone comes out of denver as the low bidder and no one questions why?

sad part is our hospital and the roads will sink out of site before this is said and done maybe the craig daily press should send someone out to look and see how bad the community is getting shafted instead of reporting what the board wants to tell them.
