I see both sides of the argument, but in my area (county at least) not much gets done, be it county or contractor (State does quite a bit better, but still political). There is a county bridge being replaced just down the road from me, crossing my property. Keep in mind this is being funded from several sources, including fish and wildlife, conservation, county, etc. It was put out for bid, but only one bidder, so it appears he named his price. I went to the bid opening, and it was almost unbelievable. The sole bid was hand carried in a few minutes before opening by the contractors girl friend, and everyone was on a first name basis. This is a small elevated/low water crossing across a county road, approx. 21 feet wide, and approx. 100 feet wide. Bid (not including removal of old slab) was $229,000 and change with completion to be done in 60 days. Construction began in July, and it is now October, and the only thing finished is the support piers. Typical good ol boy job, and no one is holding anyone's feet to the fire to get this done (call and you get a run around and no call back), and meanwhile I detour approx 5 miles one way to commute to work every day.
