Blame bondfield for going bankrupt midway through. I bet they are still trying to find replacement contractors to finish the job
Depending on what work has to be done and the Bonding company, the Bonding company will decide how and when the work will be completed. Since its most likely the same bonding company for other projects, there are various stages they have to go through before hiring someone to finish the work or tender it. Since this is way down the list of projects to deal with, the bonding company most likely it has the least to loose by pushing the project down the road.
Seeing the site over a year ago while showing someone around and riding the extension, there wasn't that much work to be done outside stopping the opening of the terminal by the summer, but no idea what still had to be done inside at the time.
Could be more work was needed to finished the inside and the trades weren't willing to do until they were paid and wanted more money to do it than the contract call for. Once a mechanical Lien is put on the property for non payment, the contract is broken by the builder who hire them in the first place. That trade can finish the project upon payment, depend on the time frame between placing the lien and payment or request extra funds to cover legal cost, delay cost as well increase cost for material and labour. Its up to the owner and the bonding company to say yes or no to extra cost depending on what being asked for. If the parties feel the cost are out of line, they will go elsewhere.
End of the day, there are legal steps that have to be follow and they take time. Since Bondfield had a lot of projects as open tender to P3, lots of legal issues to be dealt with before work is allow to proceed. Once they are clear on what is to be done and when, work will take place. Where things stands today, it will be open this year in Sept, sooner than then or later will depend on YRT and the Region.
