Norcal Spotted and BS Thread

AKA "the boat section." Thanks for all that improvement, Caltrans. I want my money back.

 

I'm guessing that is the Camp ways parking lot, amirite.

 

Technically speaking Caltrans didn't do the improvement they just maintain it. They don't build our infrastructure they just do the best they can through the politics to maintain it

 

Youch. That little gap the Merced runs through is no joke.

 

680 from Benicia to 80 on Vacaville

 

They hire consultants and contractors to design and build it. Then they maintain it. It's their responsibility to specify what should be done, and inspect that it is being done correctly.

 

It's like you were there or something.....

 

I've been there a few times lol.

 

lol is that a good or bad thing...

 

I've done many road improvements for cal trans and it fricken sucks. They are a fricken pain in ass to deal with.

 

Not bad. I've never bought a cap there, but I've gotten quotes and bought some other accessories. Last time I was looking into a Snug top front slider to replace the wide open boot job on my old 1st gen cap that came with the truck.

 

Where the inbound road branches off to one-way... that bridge... (Pohono Bridge) the arches under the bridge were completely under water yesterday.

 

Being that you work with dirt you deal much with the army core?

We do a fair amount of military work and they are by far thee worst man

 

I personally haven't but our company has. I've heard horror stories

 

I spent yesterday and the day before performing an inspection at the army depot in tracy.

An inspection of two pull stations, a tamper valve, and a water flow switch with two notification appliances.

Two freaking days! Literally asinine but hey it pays right

 

I have no doubt. My company does a lot of work with them, but my group doesn't. Our contracts are with other hellish state and federal bureaucracies.

 

Yeah, thats the gap I'm thinking of, where 40 and 120 branch off.

 

The Hubs deals with contracts for NPS. It's no joy from their side either.

 

WHY CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG

 

Past that.
