Taxpayers pay $3.2 million for SharePoint site (calgarysun.com)

The city I live in recently unveiled the new website it has been working on (http://preview.calgary.ca). As a contractor who worked for the City on projects that had touched on this one, I know quite a bit about the background of this project. To sum it up, it was built on SharePoint 2010 and had about 5 people from the development company working in-house on this project and hit numerous snags and difficulties along the way. I'm curious if other developers think we got totally scammed here? I know they have a decent relationship with Microsoft on licensing and also have some pretty heavy infrastructure to manage these sites (Meaning, they probably) didn't buy anything new most likely (assumption but still, how much of that would factor into 3.2m?)

Any thoughts? Just trying to decide if my logic of being outraged is correct :)
