Seems like somebody else could bid that lower if that's the only reason.

I would agree. Most likely a vendor upsale for no good reason.
Especially when considering that most of those water utilities don't
know anything. Also likely part of a much larger upgrade project so as
a percentage it is tiny. Last update we did on our water system was 1.2

They are for the South Florida Water Management Dept.

Considering the cost differential on 4ft dish vs 2ft dishes and the
structural / labor involved in mounting them, I think someone is
maximizing their pocket book return... I cannot come up with any
technical reason ....
But.. what would I know... :)
