I work as a private contractor for underground utility work in Los Angeles. It is common knowledge among us in the private sector that the DWP will send out six or seven workers to do a job we can do with two. Not only can we do it with two, but we take fewer days to complete the project too.

The Daily News reported Tuesday that a DWP review found that using city crews to install trunk lines roughly doubled the cost and the length of time it would have taken private workers to complete the project. Another example of poor investigative reporting. Anybody knows that the city crews are at least 4-5 times less efficient that private contractors. As a result, the Daily News' figures are woefully understated.
