Because it's most likely not "just" a simple storage shed, with a bathroom and HVAC...

They will have to install fuel tanks (which aren't cheap), upgraded electric, water, fire suppression, and all other things needed to help maintain the vehicles.

If they're installing fuel tanks, that a whole other can-o-worms, with special permits, environmental concerns, etc...

And like was mentioned before, no contractor will pay for those things based on a year to year contract...

Until anyone knows exactly what is being built, all speculation that "we're getting ripped off" is pure folly...
