[USMA:36459] Re: April 1

[Mike Millet]

The only problem with that philosophy is that nearly every contractor and sub contractor in the US that the various DOT's or whatever farm work out to will almost always refuse to work in SI. The problem then becomes, how long can the supervisor wait on the project while he and the contractors standoff. If the project falls behind schedule or budget, that supervisors head will roll.

So it kind of becomes a choice between "Do I let them have their inches?" or "Do I insist on SI and have them complain to my supervisor and make a big fuss and possibly even lose my job"

I agree with you that the DOT's should be allowed to force SI but sadly I think what I just described is the reality.
