Private vs public sector.
This is in reference to horticultural debris removal from the
hurricane. After Charlie, they hired private contractors who brought in 18 wheelers that could haul 100 yards of debris at a time. They had a claw truck and a bobcat on the street making big piles from little piles and getting it the hell out of here fast. The morons in local government here have decided to let Lee DOT do it this time. Being the government, they spend more time looking and scratching their ass than picking up debris. This morning they sat in front of my house, all of he equipment idling for over an hour while they walked around and looked at my logs and the other stuff piles around this corner. They never picked anything up. then they decided they would go around the block the other way. Four hours later they were still about 10 houses down. I do understand this would still take a lot longer because of the equipment they brought. They are just using a Gradall with a clamshell bucket and 10 yard dump trucks. Let's see. 2.5 million yards, 10 yards at a time ... a quarter of a million truck loads. No wonder they are saying it might take until Christmas. This looks like a WPA project except we are talking about 21st century government workers working 7 days a week. The guys out here on Sunday were probably averaging $70-80 an hour working double time, A contractor with the right equipment would be faster and cheaper. |
