One of the things that Bean said at the STH event a couple of weeks ago was that the city report basically budgeted to do the same work twice. For the clean-up costs, it includes the costs of cleaning the soil and returning the site to bare ground for construction. Then, the construction costs include going from the bare ground.
In reality, you would never do it that way. You'd dig up the contaminated soil, then put the building right into the hole you've already dug.
That's one of the sources of savings he mentioned.
