'I was just asking questions: Why are we hiring these contractors when they're not doing a good job?' said Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda of her ordinance. SanAntonio SATX SanAntonioTX Texas CityCouncil
Construction crews work on North St. Mary's Street. The project, which initially began in Jan. 2020, has caused outrage among business owners. at the Jan. 26 city council meeting, it might have been easy to miss the adoption of an ordinance that would bar city contractors from future work if they can't deliver on budget or on time.
Havrda's ordinance will assign scores to city construction contractors based on their ability to meet budget, deadline and quality expectations, among other factors. Those who score poorly will be banned from city work for three years. "I understood that there was no mechanism to incentivize good work or to keep us from continually hiring contractors who can't live up to the expectations we have in our community," Havrda said.
Even so, Havrda said the ordinance should merely be a first step in the city demanding more accountability. She added that she'd like to see similar measures applied to contractors who offer services other than construction. Of course, residents will have to see how diligently staff applies the rules and how crafty bad contractors are at explaining away their shortcomings. But the ordinance feels like a step in the right direction.
