If you were to put one in to protect yourself, the contract price will go up because the contractor will need to purchase insurance and will pass along the costs. So you're protected, but is the cost benefit acceptable?<br /><br />What I find amazing is the newspaper headlines that a Project Manager has been retained for the JOC project. The way it was worded I assume that there was no dedicated PM on the LC project. If that is true, then the council is guilty of negligence. <br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4506868496663273256.post-91725105420411689042015-03-03T12:48:17.318-05:002015-03-03T12:48:17.318-05:00It would be better if we had a decent communicatio...It would be better if we had a decent communications dept. and did not have to rely upon drips and drabs from gossip and the newspapers. The mayor was quoted on the penalty clause and that motion was passed by all of the councillors. There is no one speaking on behalf of the town to whom we can turn when a mess ensues. And that cost escalation was certainly a mess.<br /><br /> Weather's getting nasty - everyone be careful out there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
