An investigation into Roosevelt Boulevard construction documents shows a pattern of absenteeism, insufficient crew, lack of supplies, shoddy work and indifference to City inspectors’ remarks. It also raises serious questions about FDOT’s cozy relationship with the contractor.

Key West The Newspaper received hundreds of pages of emails and reports from the City of Key West’s utility department. The documents relate to the $ 4.5 Million 24” sewer force main that is being replaced beneath the Boulevard at the City of Key West’s expense.

First, the documents confirm what was suspected all along, that John and Lisa Chaney, the couple that was debarred from performing public works for Dade County after allegedly bribing a sewer inspector (who had let pass shipshod sewer work that later had to be dug back out and replaced), are the subcontractors in charge of the sewer main replacement project on Roosevelt Boulevard.
