I doubt that there was crude quid pro quo, myself. Then again, this is NJ, so who knows for sure? But Bombardier would be one of the few companies with the knowledge base to try its hand at the project.Ultimately, I just think that this decision, which to be sure, has not yet been approved - it's sett to be voted on, next week - is unwise, and not corrupt. And maybe that's even worse, in a way, given that corruption can still potentially result in a worthwhile - if cost-inflated - project, whereas foolishness never will. Conservatism can be a decent policy choice heuristic. Also, note that STV is to receive an contract worth in excess of $13 million, including contingencies. Their management has collaborated/directed many projects in our area, including the 'PATH Transportation Hub' at WTC. |
