A comment on Baltimore police will pay consultant $176k to maintain Lotus Notes system.
The headline reads "will pay consultant $176,800," which will be parsed as "per year" by, what, 99.9% of readers?
The first sentence is no better: "pay $176,800 to a computer software consultant."
As others have mentioned, this is almost certainly a bargain--I can't imagine any new system being quoted without a price of 'millions.'
