The fact that he gave an actual time for commencement of construction is very encouraging indeed.

Oddly enough, DEW Construction routinely announces on their website when they are awarded a contract for the construction of Jay EB-5 projects. I found no mention on their website of being awarded the Burke Hotel contract. Is someone else doing the construction? If it's DEW, this is yet another example of the muddled message that we've been receiving.
There is a mention of the project here:
http://www.peakcm.com/public/projects/Q Burke Mountain Resort Hotel and Conference Center.cfm
Does this suggest that DEW has been replaced by Peak?

Based on VTKilarney advice and also since this was moved behind the pay wall, I have removed this article. To read the whole version go to this link http://caledonianrecord.com/FormLay...SubSectionID=145&ArticleID=109699&TM=56445.77

The plot thickens...
It certainly appears that Peak is now the general contractor. In the "news" section of the website, they have a May 22, 2013 entry soliciting bids for the Q Burke hotel project. (see: http://www.peakcm.com/public/news.cfm ) Bids were due on June 7, 2013.
They have not posted any further news regarding Burke. For those who are knowledgeable about these things, would it be standard to not re-open bidding if the project was delayed for many months? Assuming the bidders are not bound to a nearly year old quote, do they just negotiate updated terms? Or is this a sign of a lack of progress?

Masskier,
I'm no copyright expert, but I suspect that re-publishing an entire article like that goes well beyond fair use.

And to add fuel to the fire, PeakCM announced on February 2, 2013 that Earl Rand was hired to work on the Q Burke Mountain Resort Hotel and Conference Center project and to assist the project team with the bidding process, contract award, scheduling, and ongoing management of the project through to completion.
His LinkedIn page says that he left PeakCM some time during 2013. After he left PeakCM, his next employment is listed as a job with Green Mountain Drywall. He didn't start that job until some time in 2014.
On the other hand, PeakCM's website says that they are accepting resumes for project managers and assistant project managers.

Peak has always been the Construction Manager

Really, Well Mark Smith, the owner of the paper is a friend and neighbor of mine..

Then it's more upsetting that you would violate copyright when it involves a friend and neighbor. And since Todd Smith is now running the newspaper, it would have been much more appropriate to speak with him before assuming that you had blanket authority to reprint the newspaper's works as a "friend and neighbor" of the Publisher.
Honestly, I didn't think that a suggestion to avoid reprinting copyrighted material in its entirety would be controversial. But whatever... FYI, the better thing to do would be to link to the article.

Thanks for the advice. Is that really what we are discussing now. That article is part of the free section of their web site for anyone to read. If in fact I am wrong, you have my apologies.

That's why I was suggesting that you just link to it. I'm seriously not trying to argue. I'm just appreciative that the Caledonian puts articles online. I want that to continue. Since they put ads on the website (including, when I looked, ads from three local realtors), I want them to receive the revenue they deserve for writing those articles. That will encourage them to continue to put articles online. The newspaper industry has fallen on some very tough times, so if you are friends with Mark I am sure you can appreciate this reality. The Caledonian Record has been creative in their use of online publishing, which is one reason why they are still a viable newspaper.
It's also a good thing for the advertisers to have their ads seen. It helps our NEK economy.

Masskier,
Back to the subject at hand. Is there anything to be read into the fact that PeakCM has not advertised a new round of bidding on their website? I am seriously ignorant as to this. How common is it to not re-open bidding if construction is delayed for several months?

I'd lose! :razz:
So twenty more pages later....
It's clear that none of us really know for sure.
There's going to be at least some delay due to snow. Beyond that we will see. Hope that it is done smartly and using input from the Burke regulars instead of a "one size fits all" job that will look out of place.

I think this thread may have eclipsed all epic Cannon should be leased threads at this point.

Masskier,
I'm still hoping you will answer the question I asked in post #1112.

There are lots of factors to consider. I don't want to 2nd guess Peak. However if it was me and I was happy with the team of subs that I had put together, I would simple get updated bids. The subs that come in line with where they were before I would not rebid. If there were any major changes then I would rebid that portion. Again that is the way I do it on much smaller projects.
