[WardFive] Re: [ward5] Ward 5 Community -- Car Barn Question

Eric,
 
How about you find out what you can.  Those documents should be public.  Ask Drew and a few of your other Contacts down there.  From what you are saying, if there are penalties, there is a possible $3 - 5 million penalty that we would face.  Worst Case Scenario, that means that we have saved $45 million.  Right now it seems like we have a "runaway money train" that needs to be better analyzed before moving forward. 
 
Talk to Kenyan.  He should have access to all the figures!

Rob,

Any estimate would be false and I wouldn't be comfortable giving false numbers that I'm not sure are real.  Now you may be able to get more information from a member of the Council or a Government Official but I wouldn't feel comfortable just making up a number for purpose of doing so.  Now what I can say is that from previous issues in the city I have seen anywhere in the area of 3 - 10% of the cost of the contract depending on the length of the contract and possibly more.
