It is totally different in the US. City planning will go with the absolute lowest bid, unless it is one of their relatives or they are getting a bribe.
Regardless, the incompetence would astound you. My city hired a construction company out of India that did not do construction cuts in the concrete. The roads developed “fault lines” within two months. The news said it apparently never snows where the construction company was from and they didn’t know it had to be done. That makes no sense because it would still expand in summer.
