Dave Testa, the article clearly says (2nd to last paragraph) what projects are included in the bond, and the numbers are off by ~$6 million. Unfortunately the article does not include your explanation, that an unidentified $6 million portion of these projects will not be completed, in “this phase”. The question arises, what would the list of projects in the second-to-the-last paragraph look like, if it was corrected to add up to the indicated $56 million?

Also, regarding project estimates, looking at “similar” projects is only a small part of the estimation process. These are technically complex projects, involving multiple engineering and trade disciplines. You would need to pay an A&E firm to do this, and in return they would provide documentation backing up their numbers. Did this happen?
