National Paediatric Hospital Development Board: 2019 Financial Statement (Resumed)
9:30 am
Mr. Phelim Devine:
As Mr. Gunning said, the phase A works are now all complete. They are subsumed into the overall contract. That is the way the contract is structured. The development board had the option whether to instruct phase B to BAM, which it did. It is, therefore, all one contract. There are still a number of claims. All claims have been through the employer's representative, ER, determination stage, but some of those determinations that relate to phase A have been disputed by the contractor.
