That is crazy for DC.....at that rate that should be getting outsourced.

Some disciplines do look to places like India, China, or the Philipinnes for outsourcing drafting/design. I've even seen Romania and Egypt recently. But many of those projects end up costing more in the long run. Still they keep doing it thinking they can save a buck. Than again they can't outscource welders or other trades where they would really save some serious money as the unions won't stand for it.
