RE: Cover-up of corrupt public contracting at the Malibu Pier

Dear Mr. Carroll,

It was a pleasure meeting you this evening in front of the drug store and you taking the time to sign my Petition requesting the U.S. Congress order a Grand Jury investigation into the public contracting fraud regarding the Malibu Pier.

Per our conversation, I have summarized the key points in regard to this matter.

u Richard J. Riordin L.A's ex mayor has used his influence to obtain illegitimately the leases at both the Malibu Pier for 20 years, and the lease at Gladstones on Will Rodgers Beach. Riordin's group was the sole bidder and it is widely known that it was "fixed".

u Renovation of the Malibu Pier to take one year has now taken six years and is far from completion, and work has shut down.

u Malibu Pier closing to the public at the shore line in January 1995, and Alices restaurant being forced to close it's doors in January 1997 with the entire pier being closed is now the tenth summer with the pier dissembled, it is obvious the corruption is now widely known.

u There were no duly authorized contracts signed by any contracting entities doing work on the pier.

u Superior Gunite Inc., Fibrwrap Construction Inc., DCA Drilling and Construction, Halco Service Corp. (Halco Electric) all falsified Stop Notices for claims for payment.

u Not one contracting entity sent the required 20 day notice to the awarding agency, bonding company, and the general contractor.

u Superior Gunite and DCA Drilling and Construction are not duly licensed for pile driving and neither knew what they were doing.

u Illegal substitutions under the Unfair Practices Act in public contracting, Superior Gunite illegally substituted for listed contractor K.D. Home for beam replacement, DCA Drilling illegally substituted for Superior Gunite for pile driving, Fibrwrap Construction illegally substituted for Fyfe and Associates for the wrapping of the piling, Accent Builders and Superior Gunite illegally substituted for Vector Three Environmental for lead based removal.

u Superior Gunite Inc., Accent Builders Inc, DCA Drilling and Construction Inc., Fibrwrap Construction Inc., all falsified their payroll records by charging the state for Saturday work when no such workmen were on the project, falsifying time and a half payroll and not paying the required prevailing wage rates.

u Superior Gunite Inc. and DCA Drilling and Construction falsifying the depth the piles are driven into the sand to reach the bedrock thereby falsely extending the length of the piles to pad the payments.

u Fyfe and Associates writing a false sole source specification for the state and then switching Fyfe an Associates Inc. for Fibrwrap Construction Inc. The ICBO report number was falsified, the testing of daily samples by an independent laboratory was not done, the independent inspection by a deputy inspector of the shelf life of the materials, the mixing of the epoxies, the saturation of the fiberglass cloth (this fiberglass was illegally substituted for the required carbon fiber) was not done.

u Fiberwrap was illegally paid " to repair their own defective and falsified work which was and continues to emit the cancer causing chemical creosote into the sand and ocean.

u Sheriff's Department caused an unlawful arrest for documenting the defective and falsified work of Fyfe and Associates and Fibrwrap Construction Inc. with the District Attorney trying to oppress the disclosure of the fraudulent work via a malicious prosecution for vandalism because of the documentation of the defective work.

Enclosed is the Petition requesting the 108th United States Congress to order a Grand Jury to investigate the wrongdoing and cover-up of the corrupt public contracting at the Malibu Pier in Malibu.

Thank You for your integrity in supporting this Petition to Congress and your time and consideration .

Sincerely,

Bruce H Darian
