Kiewit winning is bad for NIL. This will finish at $900m

I'm not an expert in this industry, but I'd think some kind of cost caps/guarantees about Kiewit eating most/all of any overages would be worked into the deal to win a contract this size.

Our church had stuff like that built into the winning bid from a GC on a project that I believe was around 5-6 million.

I know, I was mostly kidding. I'm actually a big fan of Kiewit

And in today's news that makes sense...

 

[BIG TONE SOPRANO]

Wasn’t this well known 6 months ago?

 

[MtnHusker]

If I remember correctly @Driveway Jordan had the drop on this information months ago.

Yep. Kiewit’s probably paying for a significant portion of the project in a roundabout way….

We knew about this back in August, I think @HuskerGarrett posted something about it in an EPP.

My wife works for Kiewit. They, along with every other construction company, have baked in incentives for early completion, under budget, etc...I'm sure the job will be done on time if not earlier and at or around the price quoted...at least that's what the public will see.

I have heard from someone at kiewit a while back that the lounge may be called the kiewit lounge or something similar. Which may be why they’ll eat some of the cost. He’s on the financial side of kiewit so I’ll see if he knows anything clearer about that.
Also know someone who signed a NDA for design of the stadium. I’ll try to pry from them!

Not a chance.

No Haussmann?

No Haussmann?

They are keeping him and Peeds at arms length. Huge power struggle down there right now

Weird.
Hausmann family has to be pissed. That’s probably a few million they just lost out on.

That’s a damn shame, and Ernest is a cheater to top it off.

Good. Don’t give another dime to Hausmann

 

[CybrrMonky71]

Renovating 100 year old stadiums isn’t a job for the low bidder low on experience
No way in hell was Hausmann getting that bid
It was known all along the engineering leader in Nebraska would get this bid
I’d honestly be afraid if they didn’t due to structural safety needing done to a 100 year old structure

My dad said Kiewit donated 150 million. This is coming from high up in Hausmann.

My thoughts exactly. Fuck em....says the poor.

Seriously though. You gotta run the AD.
