Now onto city discussion. CM Scully moving to authorize. CM Pobee seconds.

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.

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.

CM Pobee mad that we have to pay for outside delays. Seems like we can claw back utility delays but not WSDOT delays.

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.

Staff says the biggest problem wasn't getting outside partners to be more of a stakeholder.

CM Robertson asking about difference between "Revenue Deficit" and "Shared Allocations of Cost." Staff gives a solid answer I do not in any way understand. Funding confuses me.
