According to a study published in the Engineering News Record on May 24, 1993, using multiple prime contractors for construction projects increased cost by 13%.<BR/><BR/>But E-Rate rules make it impossible to set up a single-prime bid. Pieces of the contract eligible for E-Rate have to be torn out of the overall design and bid separately.<BR/><BR/>It costs the program a lot of money, and does nothing to prevent waste, fraud and abuse.On-Techhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13423450823765892451noreply@blogger.com
