Hamish, mate, take it easy. There was no intention to offend you or to be silly. I understand and appreciate what this site is for. But it doesn't always need to be analytical exposay without being open to opinion either well intended or sometimes being humorous sarcasm.Well, we ran a proper competitive process, we aimed to do something better than just a ‘bargain basement’ outcome, and these are the market prices in Australia for that type of ‘not bargain basement’ work.
There’s is no point in being silly about the cost of this type of endeavour or trying to pretend it’s a lot less than what it actually is.
A purpose of this website is to share information and learn and help each other, so that (for example) if someone else faces the same unfortunate position as me they might have some data and ideas to assist them.

Like I said, never was it my intent to annoy.
