I doubt any -- based on the typical "Act of God" clauses that typically appear in these types of contracts. Three words... COVID, COVID, COVID

According to this article:

"Smid [the TransEd Project Director] said TransEd is facing penalties every day for the ongoing delays and that the city is protected against increased costs, but didn’t provide specific amounts.

'There are heavy consequences on TransEd for every day there are delays. Every day counts and for some reason if it misses the summer deadline, that’s still going to be the case. There is going to be big pressure on TransEd to get this done,' he said.

TransEd has been paid monthly during the construction period based on progress to ensure taxpayers only pay for completed work, the city said. About 50 per cent of the total $1.8-billion price tag was slated to be paid during construction with the remaining 50 per cent to be spread out over the 30-year operating term."
 
Those are normal contract "penalties" Cpl -- time delay means holding back contract amounts until the work is performed. These as opposed to financial penalties where you suffer a financial loss whether the work is completed or not.

So the "heavy penalties" they face "every day" just mean that they get paid later? That's disappointing :/

I was already thinking of doing an RMTransit meetup for this, but yeah, a Skyrise meetup sounds fun

We should do a Skyrise LRT opening party for this. Open invite.

Are we truly nerd enough to do it? I believe we can be. If we set our sights to it.
