re: Birmingham Southern To Close in May

I'm a commercial/industrial roofer in B'ham and years ago our company quoted a few buildings on BSC campus and reroofed a few as well. At the time we were working directly with BSC's Plant Operations/Maintenance guy. He'd approve the work, send us a PO, and we'd start planning the job. Then at some point BSC decided they would hire Aramark to come in and handle those type of projects for BSC. It never made sense that they would basically pay someone to be Plant Ops Director AND pay Aramark to award projects. There were no discounts to Aramark, no group purchasing type deals either. Those clowns were throwing money away unnecessarily. Hiring Aramark did not make anything more efficient or less costly.
