Anyone know what the budgeted cost vs actual cost for retention was here? Must be nuts.

I had to go to the wayback machine for this because GIP's portfolio page doesn't seem to be working tonight...

But, they list the contract value at $45 million and looks like that includes everything (demolition, heritage retention, shoring) but excavation which Michael Bros. handled.

That also doesn't speak to any change orders that could drive the price up after the fact.
