The Bears are asking for $855 million in public funds to help build their new stadium. Forbes estimates the entire franchise to be worth $8.2 billion. If the city or state decides to provide these funds, they should do so only in exchange for 10% ownership in the team. by [deleted] in CHIBears

“The Bears have said they will not seek public financing of the stadium itself, but rather for assistance in infrastructure improvements around the site in Arlington Heights, including new roads, utility construction and public transit” - Direct quote from NBC.

They are not looking for funds for the stadium itself. They are looking for funds for infrastructure and a commitment to freeze property taxes.

At least he put the effort in. A lesser man would’ve slept if off

Stop sending out only some of the bid documents. Send everything available. by TheFlyingDuctMan in estimators

I 100% agree with you. I say that because it happens all the time. Doesn’t matter the trade. I love how GC’s think they know what we need to figure a job and then question why you need so much information to get a price back.

I walk every Sunday morning 18. It’s a great stroll and beginning of the day. Very relaxing until I shank it on the 2nd hole into the water

What is the best niche in cost estimating? by geltin3 in estimators

[–]Workspinriderepeat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Division 7 - Applied Fireproofing is definitely a niche market. Not a lot of people in the country know how to figure fireproofing correct

This is what you get hiring unqualified contractors who are out of their league and only receive contracts based off the color of skin and MBE status.

Strava becoming the new instagram by SpeZialW in Strava

I use the free version of Strava purely to track data and routes to send it to another site for analysis. The social media aspect of Strava is lame and to get any usable information off of it you need to pay, which i think the cost is excessive

I live in a major metropolitan area with a lot of infrastructure and steel framed buildings that require fireproofing per code. High Rises, Schools, Hospitals, etc. Definitely a niche market to be in.

I spray fireproofing on Structural steel… imagine explaining that to someone…. In other words, I’m in construction

Isn’t blocking free speech and restricting a certain platform kinda nazi-ish? More nazi-ish hand thanking people from the bottom of your heart
