JUST A MODEST COST OVERRUN ON THAT DAMN DAM

by Bob Walsh

As November 1, the deadline for the initial work on the Oroville Dam spillway, fast approaches the DWR has announced what the work has cost so far. The original estimate was about $260 million. The ACTUAL cost, so far, has been $500 million. That is a cost overrun of about 95%. Well within normal for government contract work.

And to think that I predicted it would run WAY over cost and be WAY late. Shame on me.
