"At Baltimore-Washington International Marshall Airport, a recent project to reconstruct the area around Piers C and D received six bids instead of the usual two or three. The result: The estimated $50 million project will be built for $8 million less than was budgeted, and the savings will be allocated to other projects. There were 21 bidders for a $200,000 drainage project in Carroll County, more than anyone could remember.

"Our bottom line is more bidders and better prices," said Maryland Transportation Secretary John Porcari. "This we like.""

those low bidders won't be able to complete the job, they will whine and moan and the state will give them more money. Those jobs will end up costing more than they budgeted for them.
