These guys were contracted by Boone county to resurface the roadway on the south end of Alfalfa Rd North of Columbia. Starting on Wednesday September 15th and concluding Tuesday the 21st, they proceeded to grind large sections of road surface down to the base concrete, leaving sharp straight cut edges across the roadway that dipped down sharply before immediately going straight up. They created adverse roadway hazards, and did not put out any signs, nor even a simple cone, until after my complaint to the county, at which point they put out a solitary cone on the side of the road where the construction began. On my way home from work, on the evening of Wednesday the 15th, with no warning at all, travelling at the speed limit northbound from Oakland Gravel Road, I collided with the first of the eight hazards, at speed, followed by loud clunking from my front end on turns. I contacted Jeff Cann at Boone County Resource Management (when my tech told me that the impact broke the cages in my front lower ball joints, and gave an estimate for $836.93 to repair,) and provided photos of the unmarked road work, equipment parked in the middle of a public road without signage (Could have easily caused a wreck, choked the road to one lane and you could not see around.), and the skid loader they parked in my neighbors yard without permission. Jeff referred me to Kenny with Christensen to file a claim for the damage, and initially they behaved like they were going to take care of it, even asking for the name of the repair shop "so they knew who to write the check to." After which, they were non-responsive for a week, before today, Kenny calls to tell me, "After reviewing, regardless of the lack of signage, we have decided that we don't believe that the damage could have been caused by our work unless your ball joints were already weak, and are therefore denying the claim." after which Kenny refused to put that statement into writing, and essentially told me to kick rocks.
