I vaguely remember reading, a few months ago, that all contractors who will prepare bids for the Turcot rebuild will be compensated (generously $$$) for their efforts, even if they don’t win the bid.

Is it just my impression, or did these sortof things used to get done alot faster a few decades ago? Old newsreels tell me it took a few years to build expo, not sure if i believe it XD

It took a couple of years to build Expo 67 because of having to create an entire new island, while building the metro at the same time. Still not bad. Metro cars were also built pretty damn fast when wanted. Not sure how you’d summarize what changed in the meantime.

I’m glad his firm is called Lousibourg. The town of the same name bankrupted France.

Clément, we’ve discussed that phenomenon on this blog before. It’s quite usual at that level to offer compensation to businesses that qualify to bid, as it can take a whole team several months to come up with a viable proposal, and that kind of effort does need to be reimbursed.
