Here’s a novel concept. How about the company that does the best work for the best possible price gets the job.
Wish it worked like that but people in government are loons.
I once bid a job in Oakland and was informed I needed sign off on a prevailing wage approval form or whatever.
I asked what the prevailing wage was and it turned out to be $10 bucks an hour less than what I pay my guys.
I told them they were nuts. I exceeded prevailing wage but they insisted we sign off.
Friggin nightmare. I had already committed to the job and had to pay my guys prevailing wage.
I actually had to create a bonus for them so they would be fully paid.
It was a nightmare and took so much time to figure out how to legally pay them this stupid wage and still get them paid their fully hourly monies.
I never answered a bid in Oakland again and never will. They deserve inferior work.
We only do things according to standard and even then above standard.
There’s my way and everyone else’s way.
We only do it my way.
