I suppose the only rationale I can find for doing it now, is that it may cost more to do it later. But I have a hard time thinking this is the best way to spend $65M.
The fact is they were using labour rates from an 80's report.. of course it was out of date. Prices have gone up since 1986.

Buracrats basing there estimates on out of date info just doesn't work.
