Every bid is ultra competitive, there's no arbitrarily tacking on an extra 300% "because it's government". I'd never win a job.

I thought the key to winning a government bid is to submit something low and then let it automatically overrun 5x. $10M bid easily becomes $50M when it's done. Can anyone say Fast Cats? Now BC Ferries is thinking of building a fleet of 5 Electric ships ... can't wait.
