Evaluate the contractor's timeliness Most tasks were done in a timely manner. The submittal of temporary files needed for condemnation did lag a little.

Evaluate the contractor's quality All work was done with professional quality. This type of work is difficult and emotional for landowners. WSB did an outstanding job of explaining landowner rights and advising when need be.
