Delta Optimist —
Local, but the story is increasingly pandemic — “No bids to fix Delta boat launch“. You know you’ve got a problem when a government contract goes out to bid (meaning Big Guaranteed Bucks!), and not one single company in an area with millions of residents and thousands of businesses even bothers to submit a bid. And then you get to the nut of the matter: “Parks, Recreation and Culture director Ken Kuntz told council it’s a complex project requiring three senior levels of government approvals.” It’s a freakin’ wharf! A small one! But increasingly, businesses are running out of time and patience dealing with GOVERNMENTS and their myriad rules, regulations, approval steps, enviro regs, sundry political complications, and on, and on, and on, ad infinitum. The city has now hired an engineering firm just to “help move the approval process along.” It now takes a specialized engineering firm to get thru the approval process? Dear God.
