[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DC has much stricter requirements to use local/minority owned firms. Even if they are not nearly has qualified as a larger design construction firms. I work in contracting and I see this all the time across all fields.small firms are slower to respond to changes, cannot absorb costs, poor at cost estimating, lots of modifications and change orders. all adds up to major delays and doubling of costs. its a really dumb way to do business. and to the previous poster, underground parking can cost a LOT more than 20k per space, can easily run 30-50k depending on location and number of levels underground. [/quote] I love when someone with some actual knowledge chimes in.[/quote] And local firms...have a much more clear motivation and means to funnel part of those incredibly-high budgets to reward those local politicians who so kindly enable them.[/quote]
