Respectfully, an owner's website does not govern where the contractor otherwise solicits, bids, and/or performs public works construction.
LS of Fox21 did a YT about the wall project and EAOS last year.
Every state has its own code section where state legislators adopt rules that govern this process (i.e., state agency and local government contracting) including but not limited to a provision for a Small Works Roster where these rules may be used in lieu of other statutory procedures to award contracts for such work with an estimated cost of three hundred fifty thousand dollars or less.
In other words, based on their project history and qualifications, it was of no surprise that this firm was the subcontractor for the transit agency wall.
I believe BM had probably performed successfully for the Purdue gents previously.
EAOS was certainly not to blame for SM's demise. Just another bridge BM burned because he could. MOO
