Unfortunately, this is how government works too. About 10 years ago while
maintaining the Golden Gate website I had to post contracts to their site.
These would be for things like seismic retrofits, etc. Contractors would bid
on the contracts, and whoever came up the lowest was the winner.
Nice to know that the guys making your bridges more earthquake resistant are
the ones who are the cheapest.
