The third track at 72nd Street was in the "nice to have" category but by no means necessary. If it looks like money is coming up short, of course you dump it.I don't see anything disastrous in any of the changes. The cost escalation being looked at now is in future contracts (hence these design changes). The current tunnelling contract is fixed at $339 million and it's the contractor's responsibility to complete it at the agreed-upon price, and is bonded and insured to do so. |
