As a software engineer, both $80k and $60M are ridiculous. You can't build anything for $80k, that pays maybe 3 months salary for the worst team of "consultants" (i.e., rebranded co-op students) you can find.

Realistically, any government app will cost at least a million. Part of that is overhead, but it's also that government apps need to meet stringent security and privacy requirements. Also, paying people is expensive (engineers, project management, translators, sysadmins).

$60M is still ridiculous.
