Don't forget insurance. That's never cheap, and they can't work without it.

you could be right but there will also be Engineering, Environmental, Security & Administrative costs associated with the work; possibly more (such as a contingency). Often all the other stuff costs more than the actual work of digging and removal. These contracts are usually posted and your MLA could likely get the break down.

I had a look at the Jake's website and in the past they have dug all this stuff out without actually working in the river bed. They dig it out and leave a barrier between the pit and the river and then open a channel. This produces the big frog water holes coho love. I assume work has started. I drove over the Canal at the #1 Saturday. The river was love and clear.

Engineering, environmental monitoring, and contingency arent usually included in the contractor's scope so wouldnt be included in the $13M. Administrative cost and insurance are included in the $250/hr force account rate I mentioned.

Most likely this contract could only be awarded to a contractor with approval from FN and its possible they only approved of Jakes. They knew that and took advantage.

you are discounting the fact there could be more than 1 contractor. The project is budgeted at 13 million. The Province will have to get engineering and environmental if a general contractor doesn't provide it.
