[quote=Anonymous][/quote] It's been expressed earlier in this thread, but it's pretty much a known thing that the contractors and subcontractors and various other players who are in the know can basically charge 50-100% more for any project overseen by DGS. Murch/Capital City aren't quite an exact comparison because Murch will involved a lot of new construction and underground work, which is VERY expensive, but I am sure if a charter was doing the same amount of work at Murch the price tag would come in at something like $60 million instead of $88. [/quote] So what can be done to change this? Posting to this thread isn't likely to change anything. I think there was a Wa Po article about DGS and its mismanagement of the Ellington renovation funds a while back - has anything come of that? If the above is well-known, what can be done to change the bidding process and make contractors accountable?[/quote]
