Ah, Yea !!!!!!!
Golly gee Wally,
why is it that a structure, with the EXACT SAME SPEC'S,
Will cost 3 to 5 times MORE,
than the SAME Spec Structure,
when built for a State/County/Church/School ???????????????????????????
Of course it don't matter none,
cause someone will, spin, and say that never happened.
40 years ago, a County was building a addition to the court house.
(Carter was Pres)
Because I was involved with other 'county' things, I looked at the specks.
A Light fixture, with 2 fluorescent bulbs, Mod Number, Mfg xxx, was listed at $296.87 each, (at 120 of them).
The
SAME fixture,
SAME model number, the
SAME bulbs, could be had at the local Menard's, for $12.95 !
(AND LABOR WAS CHARGED EXTRA)WHAT, Where the Hell did
THIRTY FOUR THOUSAND Dollar's GO ?
WHO's POCKET ?????
15 years ago, a good friend, (who was the Sheriff), asked me to tell him what it would cost to put in a Gun Range in the new building they just built.
I came up with the costs, of $175.000.00, with another $4,000.00 for me overseeing the project.
He invited me to the, 'Consul', meeting, where the Consul would decide.
The Consul decided to 'Accept' the bid of, "$350.000.00, for the SAME THING !!!!!!!!
Golly Geeeeee Wally, Ya think, some of them,
(or all of them), WERE ON THE TAKE ???????????
Now you are comparing, a little fence, in a little place, for a little distance, to a
'GOVERNMENT PROJECT' ?Do you expect everyone to be clueless ??????
