Hey Sunrise, you're a handy fella; and it turns out no matter how much the City forks over, we can't seem to get Union done.
Why don't you pitch to the City to assume the contract.
No, no consortium, just you.
At triple your normal rate, you'd still be 95% cheaper than past contractors; and bonus...........there's a good chance you'd finish something in the next year.
Pretty sure that's bonus territory. (err, a change order, since the original tender won't actually require that you to finish anything)
Doubt you'd need any help, but on the off chance, it would surely just be for physical labour...........so you could partner with a gym, take 3/4 of the monthly fee and just give someone a workout moving stuff where you need it!
