I can't think of the last Municipal, Provincial, or Federal project that hasn't run into massive cost overruns, we will take the lowest bids as per the tender process, which are always well below what can reasonably accomplish what is required to be done, then pretend to be shocked as things snowball to a higher and higher cost.
and just for ####s and giggles it will be BIRD who receives a large portion of those contracts who has some of the shoddiest work I have ever seen come out of a tender process, but that's just my personal experience.
