‘Are you serious? A quarter of a million dollars will build houses including land and utilities. This is one door. “
I take it you have never actually seen a hanger. Ya know the things they keep planes in.
Yes, I have. If they were completely replacing the door and installing a completely new open/close system I might believe it. But, this is repair not replace. I have been doing industrial maintenance for over thirty years. I know what a reasonable repair sounds like.
This is of course, the government. Contractors are required to pay union scale even if the company is non-union.
The cost of the hangar door is $246,000, which includes the repair of an electrical drive mechanism, safety devices, door seals, painting, cable and pulley system, control system and other items.
It doesn't even say any repairs are to be done to the door except for paint and seals.
