CM Scully now angry at SCL taking too long and says to tell him as soon as possible so he can call Bruce Harrell personally to straighten it out. Staff says most problems are solved.
Staff reinforces that these overruns were completely unpredictable and would have happened for a higher bid countracot. Its also the result of a calculated risk to go for grant money.
Deputy Mayor Mork asking why we didn't go design/build which would have put the contractor more on the hook. Staff says its harder to get federal funding that way.
Comments
CM Scully has concerns about the cost differences in bids like I called out before.
Apparently some of these were due to a pole being 18 inches out of reach. That level of small problem causing delay.
