<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Hello.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Does anyone have an estimate for the % increase per linear foot of constructing a 6 foot wide sidewalk with straight faced granite curb using prevailing wage rates versus a private
entity constructing the sidewalks (not using prevailing wage rates)? All I need is a ball park figure. If you have an explanation for the ball park figure, all the better. I am preparing for a town wide “Pedestrian Summit” here in Middleton.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Thank you!</p>
