We finally got awarded the contract for the new playground facilities

The galvanized tie wire has more durability & flexibility then some of the other materials.

8 weeks ago, our partner & I put in a bid to build the new playground facilities. The playground facilities include 6 powder rooms & more than one buildings on the property. The buildings need to be erected from scratch… We will have to start from the ground up. I bid on the task as close as I could so our partner & I would have a chance at getting the task. We got awarded the contract for the new playground facilities last week. I started ordering all of the items that I needed for the task. I knew it was going to be substantial to get all of the rebar & rebar products that I needed before the task really started. I ordered 24-in & 48-in rebar rods & several weird sizes of double loop wire ties. I decided to go with a galvanized tie wire for the project. The galvanized tie wire has more durability & flexibility then some of the other materials. I spent several thoUSnds of dollars on all of the rebar tie wire & wire tie supplies, but unfortunately, I have not heard anything from the county about the playground since we were awarded the task last week. I sent several SMSs to the county commissioner to get more information, even though I was told to wait until the end of the month for more information. I honestly thought we would be starting with the project by the end of the week. I honestly should have waited to order all of the rebar tie wire & wire tie supplies.

Is there a difference between foreign and domestic steel?

Many companies like using domestic steel products, however I don’t assume there is much difference between foreign and domestic steel, however both products have to pass rigorous testing and safety standards, but the safety standards and testing overseas are not quite as stringent as the ones here and that is one of the main differences, i use lots of steel products in my company and I always try to buy American made domestic steel whenever possible. I don’t assume there is much of a difference between the steel products, however the American-made products make myself and others assume like I am helping another small company in the area. My small company is pressing to myself and others and I assume there are other people with small suppliers that are just as pressing to them. I buy all of my steel products from a supplier that offers both American made and foreign products. The foreign steel products are honestly much cheaper than the American made steel products. I buy American-made steel for everything that counts and I buy the cheaper foreign-made steel for the products that don’t matter. The double loop ties that I use on all of the rebar are foreign, however all of the rebar rods are all domestic made. I save quite a bit of currency by using the foreign double loop wire ties and I can find them in many odd applications. I can also find the double loop wire ties in a variety of odd sizes including 14 gauge all the way up to 18 gauge. The double loop wire ties are made of high quality steel, however they are easily malleable and bendy.

Is there a difference between foreign & domestic steel?

Many companies care about using domestic steel products, but I don’t think there is much difference between foreign & domestic steel, but both products have to pass rigorous testing & safety standards! The safety standards & testing overseas are not quite as stringent as the 1s here & that is 1 of the main differences… I use lots of steel products in my business & I typically try to buy American made domestic steel whenever possible.

  • I don’t think there is much of a difference between the steel products, however the American-made products make me think love I am helping another small business in the area.

My small business is pressing to me & I guess there are other people with small suppliers that are just as pressing to them. I buy all of my steel products from a company that offers both American made & foreign products. The foreign steel products are really much cheaper than the American made steel products. I buy American-made steel for everything that counts & I buy the cheaper foreign-made steel for the products that don’t matter.

The double loop wire ties are made of high quality steel, however they are legitimately malleable & flexible.
