I thought the actual price tag has ended up being quite a bit more than the $92 estimate...?
Either way....I've been contracting with government for IT work for quite awhile now...and this comes as NO shock to me. Private companies define what they want to do, then go do it. Government groups, however, come up with a "general idea" of what they want to do, then hope it "all comes together" in the end. I think my company has a small, small role in the website...not sure what they are doing....but I am glad I'm a million miles away from it. I wouldn't have touched that project with a 10 meter cattle prod.
