Friends:
The following statements are both illiterate, and false. They are designed to isolate competition to ONE roofing vendor.
Factually, that one vendor doesn't make half the material they sell. They outsource it, and then stick a label on it.
Shame on Gordian, and their henchmen for expanding the lie, and it's insulting to anyone beyond the 6th. grade.
I wish so badly that I could be in the audience, so I could tell public administrators that taxpayers do not pay for their "ease" at a HUGE premium. Outrageous!
I live in the 8th. largest school district in the country, and roofed well over 100 schools. We have a roofing "Standard", including multiple nationally known manufacturers.
A few of them are:
GAF: Largest material manufacturer in the United States.
Johns Manville: A Berkshire Hathaway Company.
Firestone: Backed by billions in Bridgestone assets.
I'd love to hear someone tell me why they should be excluded from fair competition? They all have superior representation, and are not "Commissioned Salesmen" like Garland, Tremco, and others.
On this site, I've produced countless examples of fraud, and backed it up through public record.
NOTE: Retired 2003, do not solicit, nor accept, compensation or personal advancement of any kind.
Clearly, I have no horse in this race, and free to tell the truth as I know it. I do not traffic in opinions. I don't value my own "opinion" , much less the opinion of anyone else. That may sound a bit harsh, but unlike the Purchasing Cooperatives, provide FACTS, and public record so you can make an intelligent choice regarding a new roof.
Roofing is the costliest item of any school maintenance budget. The budgets are being decimated by the lies, and exclusion of competition for taxpayer money. If you buy a roof through a Cooperative, here's where your dollar will end up:
1.) 25 percent "commission" for the "Salesman".
2.) A minimum of 2% for the Cooperative.
Your dollar is now worth 73 cents with absolutely nothing to show for it. These people remind me of hyenas, and will stop at nothing.
The roof you buy through them is often a minimum standard, of only 10 years. 40+ years in the discipline, and not once have I installed less than a 20 year roof system on any public structure.
Administrators are severely disadvantaged because they are Administrators, and have no concept of modern roofing technique, warranties, They are absent credential, or experience, and it's insulting to honorable manufacturers, consultants, contractors, and distributors who are shut out.
To see those facts, and public record, please use the search box. Please type search words "School Roofing Scam", "Fraud', Garland, Tremco, U.S. Communities, TCPN, etc.
My colleagues cannot open their mouths, without being ostracized, and that is very unhealthy for our economy. Local, and otherwise.
I've offered $10,000.00 of my own money on a debate with their "Preferred Vendor". They are gutless, and afraid I will systematically disassemble them in a public setting. Money goes to a school of my choice.
The comments they make about "Competitive" are bold face lies. They cannot show you any competitive bids by manufacturers, and that's where it should start.
SCAM, SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.
Government "ease' is placed ahead of the taxpayers. I see this every day, and from every part of the country. That includes Alaska, and Hawaii.
I am happy to help anyone who is a victim of this obscene "organized crime" scam.. I answer all mail, and do not turn down requests for help.

After all this time, I grow weary, and can use any help from my Brothers and Sisters of the discipline.
Please know I am very grateful for your time, and know that reading this material is like watching a car rust.
Reject negativity in all forms, and always remember to keep looking "UP".
Respect.
