Fack! Where are these "other" $70,000 stairs!?City staff said the estimate to build a brand new staircase was based on what was installed at another park. They also pointed out the stairs may not require the same amount of work.

Thank you. I was just incensed at the idea of $70,000 for a fricking set of steps. This is what I do all day, every day. I build decks and steps.
Apparently, the city is now going to build a set of wood steps and they "will keep it under $10,000". Whoo hoo!
Put it out for bid to private, non union contractors and It will come in a teeny bit less expensive!
Just for the heck of it, I priced out a set of code compliant steps with a landing at top, a proper legal railing and concrete piers for footings. Even with a landing at the bottom as shown in some additional pictures published yesterday in the Star, I could do it for 1/2 that number, and still make a profit!

This whole thread just makes me mad. I try not to look into this crap for this exact reason, it's a total shitshow. All these fucks are getting rich off of us for doing very close to nothing.
Hope this is good for your business at least quick silver...
