Enough naysayers will now have a voice so I am expecting the project to at least be paused for further consultation. Christchurch ain't getting a stadium to be proud of.

Wow I’m surprised, good news

@Machpants so am i if im honest
they do need to get on with it now, one way or the other, theyd probably cop less flak if theyd build a smaller or uncovered one ages ago rather than dangling this awesome option out there but not actually building it

who would take on a fixed price contract in the current climate, unless your price is way above market?
Sure you price in contingencies, but the world be crazy and prices escalating, and the time frames involved here...

@taniwharugby this is what the council probably wanted, get buy in for increasing the budget so they can get a fixed price negotiated and hand it all off to someone else, if it comes in under budget (ie wasted money) they get to say they asked and everyone was fine with it...and if it goes over then its the contractors problem

actually read it
Bragg said securing this contract meant there was a “very, very low” chance of ratepayers having to stump up more money in the future, if councillors decide to spend an additional $150 million now.not exactly "Fixed" then is it!
-
If it’s fixed price and prices go up, the options are
-
construction company makes a loss. They will do all they can to avoid this, so
-
they use inferior quality (cheaper) materials and/or cut corners
-
or they themselves negotiate fixed prices or discounts with suppliers…for suppliers then see 1 and 2

Nah. They are deciding today. It’s live on stuff.
Non binery folk aren’t supportive, it appears. (This was in the submission a few moments ago)

Interesting, you'd think that they wouldn't assume it as a yes / no distinction.
