City Spends $300,000 Extra On Construction Projects To Pay Union Wages
(From Michigan Capitol Confidential)
a review of bid documents in Royal Oak shows that the city purposely chose to pay higher costs with no assumption that it would get a better product or service as a result.
The city also rejected several low bids — including one in February that would have shaved nearly $313,000 off the cost of concrete for a new police station — from firms which submitted proposals using nonunion labor.
