Capizzi and Luna had an engineer produce plans that
allowed no path for a fire truck to enter Wilson School in case of a fire.
Capizzi and Luna had an engineer produce plans that
completely blocked a fire hydrant with a really high fence (BOE plans say 10 ft. but with prison-like fences, they appear higher) and allowed no entrances
anywhere near it.
Capizzi and Luna had their contractor carry out those dangerous
plans that jeopardized student safety.
Only after fire prevention professionals and concerned
residents raised these safety issues was the project halted.
The BOE had to approve a change order to spend at
least $11,200 more for the installation of a “slide gate” and “man gate”.
This raises many questions about the judgement of
Capizzi and Luna. How could they have
been so reckless?
This also raises many questions as to why Capizzi
and Luna continue paying their engineer 8% of all project costs instead of a
set amount aligned to the work they actually do.
Who should pay for the change order?
