    Yes...UNIBAR is URG (Utility Resource Group LLC). They both have the same MMBDC info. on their pages:

    Unibar: Partners & Affiliates
    UNIBAR is a minority-owned business and a member of MMBDC [www.mmbdc.com], ... UNIBAR/Aramark LLC is a minority-owned and operated facility service company ...
    www.unibarinc.com/partner/partner.asp - Cached - Similar -


    Just good to know who is who, and who is hiding out.

    So what contract did they pick up? They are hiring all over the area but no one seems to know what contract they got.

    URG pays their people crap and they have crap locating skills. Paint everything in sight is their motto it seems. They are a bunch of low ball bidding not knowing how to locate bunch of hacks. Crappy company and ownership all around, wouldn't plan on them making it very far.

    Hope some of those 60 can find work elsewhere. I'm not sure, but 6feet might be a bit biased, if he is not, I hope this other company knows how to locate Sewer/ water, and street lights. I doubly hope that if they do have quality contrlol issues that they don't have to locate traffic signals...

    just another uninformed thought
