$100,000.00 per foot wheel chair ramp

I would have been happy to bid it for a mere $90,000.00 per foot. I'm not greedy.

Where else but San Francisco City Hall could a 10-foot-long wheelchair ramp wind up costing $1 million?

And kalifornia wonders why it is broke.

Supervisor Jake McGoldrick said Tuesday that the issue went to the heart of liberal guilt that often drives the city's decision making.

Easy marks! I could use a quick buck from someone else's wallet. How do I get in on this stealing from the taxpayer bid process? Watch & learn, children.

-- $77,000 for the city's Bureau of Architecture project manager, design and construction fees.

-- $455,000 for the actual construction, plus asbestos removal.

-- $28,000 for a construction scheduling consultant.

-- $3,500 for an electrical consultant.

-- $68,000 for the Bureau of Construction Management to oversee the construction and various consultants.

-- $12,000 for Department of Technology and Information Services oversight.

-- $16,500 for permits and fees. (Yes, believe it or not, the city charges itself.)

-- And as much as $65,000 for bid overruns.

All for a total of: $1,123,000.

And counting.

Don't people go to jail for this kinda stuff? Oh. Wait. It's government. That means legal theft.
