@allie_jardim @TranBC @DriveBC_VI Thanks for bringing this up too! It’s not complete @tranbc@jjhorgan @clairetrevena the job isn’t finished at all! It’s a complete sham to try and cover-up the delays. So brazen and unbelievable they’d think anyone would believe it.
@LuisaAlvarez95@TranBC@EAMOperations @clairetrevena @jjhorgan Busy day but let’s connect and chat about #malahat project delays and ministry oversight on this project. Waiting on @TranBC for updated completion date, accountability for delays and details of protective measures in place to protect taxpayers from underperforming contractors
@EAMOperations where’s your malahat crews? Cones are down everywhere, lanes closed for days with no crews or visible progress yet again. Poor optics around this project @TranBC @clairetrevena @jjhorgan can you establish some oversight and accountability for delays pls and thx?
@TranBC @malahatdrive @rollawayup @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News Call me stupid, but I think what everyone here wants to say is not much happened for the first year or so. Progress was slow as sh*t. The roadside was littered with idle machinery - including (and most importantly) - tracked drilling machines. Funny how the crunch is on now.
@TranBC @malahatdrive @rollawayup @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News Yes. Thank you for the carefully crafted response from the contractor. Can they explain why lanes are continuously closed off with cones yet no work is in progress?
@BunjiKugashira1@TranBC @malahatdrive @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News I haven’t met anyone that didn’t feel the same way Jay - we all bit our lips until the deadline but it’s come and gone and it’s time for accountability around this project #bcpoli#malahat
@TranBC @malahatdrive @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News@tranbc we need a firm commitment on the updated completion date for this project ASAP
@TranBC @malahatdrive @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News@tranbc Does the contract include penalties against the contractor if the project is over deadline yes or no?
@TranBC @malahatdrive @BCAuditorGen @BcTran@jjhorgan @clairetrevena @SoniaFurstenau @CHEK_News@tranbc thx for your informative response. What caused the delays on project completion? Are we still within budget on the EAC $18.5M contract? Have there been any change orders/out-of-contract expenses charged to the province by EAC? Will EAC face penalties for over-deadline?
@TranBC@EAMOperations @clairetrevena @jjhorgan@tranbc more delineators down 7:00am this morning can we get some crews up there ASAP to restore highway safety. A worker has posted that he’s not resuming night work until Sunday 5:30pm can you confirm that and explain the delays
@TranBC @malahatdrive @BCAuditorGen @bctran You need to check your sources I just measured the section near Aspen rd and it’s only 1.5M (60”). @jjhorgan @clairetrevena Time for the Auditor General to get involved. We know the project is over it’s second deadline but is it over budget too? #checkbeforeyoupost
@TranBC@EAMOperations @clairetrevena @jjhorgan@TranBC delineators were down at 6:30 last night - if contractor was working at night why weren’t these important safety devices restored before we came thru at 7:00am this morning.
@TranBC@EAMOperations @clairetrevena @jjhorgan@TranBC have you confirmed this with contractor and verified hours or are you shooting from the hip to cover it up. I’ve called on the Auditor General to look into this matter. If you’re not driving this road several times a day your argument won’t hold up. #enoughisenough
@TranBC@EAMOperations @clairetrevena @jjhorgan@tranbc if work is being done at night I haven’t seen it and that doesn’t excuse the contractors negligence in assuring the highway is adequately marked out at all times for the travelling public. #safetyfirst#noexcuses
@bcndp I was planning to stay in my RV in Goldstream Campground while I’m working in Victoria this weekend providing after-hours emergency service to elevators in the Capital Region. I can’t stay at my home in Duncan because the #malahat is too unreliable right now. Open the gate
