i found other estimates that suggest the cost
for the g7 security was $650; however, i can use your number as well:
$395 m/ 2 days = $197.5 m per day
olympic bid $610 m/14 days = $43.6 m per day
i'd like some insight into how security can be provided for so much less in the future? Are robots going to save us $150 m per day?
I am trying to think of other products that have seen the price decrease by such a large amount over the past 15 years. TV's/PC's maybe. Nothing else is coming to mind.
Just strikes me that there is the real chance here that 1/3 or more of your contingency is likely gone, before you have put a shovel in teh ground, or opened up an electrical panel in mcmahon.

The G7 Security budgets looked like this:
The RCMP had a budget of $259MM
National Defense $35MM
Public Safety Canada $99MM
CSIS: $2MM
source: Global News
Total $395MM
If there are actuals released already somewhere I couldn't find them.
We don't need to use hyperbole to know that this is a terribly executed bid. |
