I wonder about the process to attribute responsibility for the construction delay, and how to apportion the costs of this dome. It seemed like the municipal government was suggesting that it would not be paying since the delay hadn’t been caused by them. But it seemed like they weren’t sure, which is strange- it shouldn’t be too hard to find the part of the contract about delays and the costs of mitigating them if they happen.
Any contract job I've worked on has always had unanticipated costs/delays/problems that weren't explicitly covered in the contract. It's hard to cover every possible scenario, so usually there's some sort of process for figuring out who covers what in these types of areas.
I don't know many details about this case, but I suspect its not cut and dry who's responsible. Some delays are probably the Region's problem, some are probably Grandlinq, and some are probably unclear/shared. So if the dome is in response to delays - the cost is probably born by both sides and the exact amount is probably still to be settled.
