Parking lot bids for shrine rejected
Certification, time issues behind county move
ROSA SALTER RODRIGUEZ | The Journal Gazette
The Allen County commissioners Friday rejected bids on a project to install a parking lot at the Veterans National Memorial Shrine and Museum at 2122 O Day Road.
Bill Hartman, director of the Allen County Highway Department, said the rejection was not because of unacceptably high or low bids.
A technical issue involving the type of certification with the state held by the low-bid contractor, Crosby Excavating of Fort Wayne, partly caused the rejection, he said.
Time constraints for beginning and finishing the project also played a role, Hartman said.

The excavating company failed to properly train the crew on the project and did not effectively limit access to part of the worksite, the investigation found.

COLUMBIA CITY, Ind. (AP) - State regulators have fined an excavating company $14,400 for workplace safety violations discovered after three workers, including a father and son, died in August while working on a northeastern Indiana sewer project.
The Indiana Occupational Safety and Health Administration imposed the fine on Jan. 29 against Fort Wayne-based Crosby Excavating Inc. after an inspection found three “serious” safety violations and one “repeat” safety violation.
Jason R. Ball, 48, and his son, Bronson Ball, 21, both of Columbia City, died along with Douglas M. Kramer, 43, of Fort Wayne, on Aug. 25 after they became trapped about 20 feet (6.1 meters) below ground inside a manhole while working on a storm sewer project in Columbia City.
