what size conductor?

Cost is no object to the Government. They are spending Other People's Money (OPM).

They also have different color money for different purposes. Green money is considered real money for costs that are the responsibility of the current project manager. Any other color, such as for future operating expenses that are the responsibility of someone else, is like Monopoly Money and is not a consideration in the decision.

Boy ain't that the truth! One of my previous jobs was to convince government to spend a little more now in order to save a lot later. Everything went ok, until we got to the "value engineering" stage.
