Concentric Project Controllers I went to louisiana for katrina and i worked for cpc. Myself and about ten other guys were in slidell la installing trailors and build decks and handicap ramps for victims and never recieved payment from cpc. We were all staying in tents and were just trying to help all those people. Cpc would not return phone calls they would set up meetings and not show... Florence South Carolina

If you were present in slidell Then you would have known that we received work orders in the early A.m. and the men contracted to build these decks would work everyday as late as possible to get the work orders done.  Obviously you were not aware of our operations.  Just to clarify I didn't wait after Randy finally acted like a man and met me.  I waited for weeks prior to that being told other excuses to why I wasn't being paid.  You see,  they waited until i had completed a bunch of work before they decided not to pay. 

Apparently you don't under stand the concept.  We had between 10 - 16 men down there, two man crews.  So lets do a little simple Math....  5 crews at 3 decks per day equals 15 decks per day.  times that by seven and you get 105 decks.  Now if you through in 10 to 15 handicap ramps that we were building, which you'd be lucky to build two a day.  That would bring your total number to somewhere around 50 decks and or ramps.  Also i don't know where your getting 20 pages of plans for a 4'x 4' deck.  My little sister could build those with no plans....   Probably just another scam you guys were pulling off to charge the Government more money.  SO, your guarantees that we never built 50 in a week is like pissing in the wind.  Not to mention i have the dated fema work orders

The reason you probably never heard about it was because it was above your pay-scale.

Next time your thinking about responding about something which you know nothing about you should get your facts straight.  I don't have time to hear about what some scam artist ex employee thinks might have happened.

FYI:  The judgment out of Covington Louisiana has been ruled in our favor as of the 29th of October 2010 case #1793688.  They never responded to any of the courts letters or hearings.  If they were not guilty of owing this money why would they be a no show. 

futhermore I hope that you can make a better judgment next time you look for an employer.


 

I was present on this project for almost its entirety as a supervisor for CPC. To clarify the claims made here, there were never any calls issued at 9 or 10 at night for carpenters.... Didn't happen. . . ever. Safety was a priority to CPC and this project was no different. As the safety manager, I know this project logged over 750,000 safe manhours for CPC and swinging hammers at night with skillsaws buzzing aint the way it was done.

This person references in this story that he was told that he was overpaid by ine of the owners of the company... If that was the case, why was he waiting on money? ? OVER paid should clarify the situation.

As far as 50 decks/ramps per week and taking over the operation is concerned, thats a bogus claim as well. Most carpenters crews in LA, under CPC or whoever, did well to complete 5 decks and ramps a week. These decks came complete with about 20 pages of plans and specs .. government work... and were built to last a lifetime. Fifty decks and ramps per week didn't happen for any of the carpenter crews on the ground while I was there. . . None. Never.

I hope this guy has better luck in his future endeavors but I say this claim is absurd. I was there. I dont know what happened with the lawsuit either and I would have probably heard about it. I left the company in 2006 and when I left, the project was completed and closed out and I am not aware of this suit being filed at the time. It will be interesting to hear if there is any follow up.
