This is one thing to "invest" 5,000$ or so for planning process, legal or
expert advises - that is reasonable (and others did it without - Haifa,
Argentina, DC, Poland..) 64,000$ is not.

follow UK plans to invest £40,000 only for the bid process (about
62,000$).
To be clear, that plan is still in draft, and that particular item has
received plenty of opposition.
I am in favour of spending money on bids - it is necessary if we want
to get professional quality bids. I am not in favour of spending that
kind of money on bids, though.
