Totally agree. Berger were not at fault and their efficiency is not in question. They are masters at finding loopholes that require change orders. Poor contract writing by the council as far as I can see.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

If the total cost of moving the utilities had been budgeted from the start ,the project would never have got funding in the first place.
The Council knew this, so proceeded with a half-cocked scheme that they knew could not be abandoned once it was underway.

You can add Hampden Park to that list. That dump cost the same as the Millenium Stadium in Cardiff.

I'm just pointing out how things often go pear-shaped when the public sector tries to do business with the private sector. That's what happened with the statutory repairs business.... it was, in theory, a good system, but one that got screwed up by incompetence and, as you say, ultimately fraud.

"The task of rebuilding Hampden began in 1990 with the formation of the National Stadium Committee, formed with representatives of the Club (Queen’s Park) and the Scottish football authorities. It was charged with examining and addressing the means of drawing together the financial package to rebuild the National Stadium on its current site. At the time, other sites, in out-of-town locations, were identified and proposed by developers and local authorities. None of these schemes proved sustainable. In media debate, the general public and former players regarded Hampden as the spiritual home of football and wanted to retain it as the National Stadium.
The National Stadium Committee set about its task. It drew together £12 million of funding to upgrade the North and East Stands, carry out external landscaping, improve car parking provision and provide hospitality lounges. These elements of work were completed in February 1994 and the Stadium hosted a full international match, Scotland v The Netherlands. Thereafter, the challenge was to complete the outstanding The vision of the new Hampden was emerging; not a replacement of the old but a new structure with facilities to match the aspirations of a new Millennium and future generations of sports participants, spectators, viewers, business and commerce. The story was told; the vision of the venue and its adjacent sites was shared with others. The process of drawing together the funding had started."
