From page 28...
... 28 A questionnaire was sent to seven contractors to solicit their experiences with state procedures and requirements for demolition activities. The selected contractors included four large bridge contractors and two midsize bridge contractors, as well as a specialty demolition contractor.
From page 29...
... Construction Contractor Questionnaire 29 Only occasionally, on large or complex projects, does an owner require the contractor to supply the credentials of the demolition superintendent. The contractor's assessment of the resident engineer's experience with demolition ranged from "not knowledgeable" to "50-50," with the consensus being "sometimes." One contractor commented that consultant residents are often less knowledgeable than state personnel.
