# 2026-01-12 13:02:?? #occupational Joel attributes the [[#GP Variance|apparent variance]] to 1. missed Polaris lugs for feeders for one building, 2. insufficient budget for equipment rental, and 3. upfront costs already paid (construction is 50% complete). He also said that operations accused ConEst of providing insufficient length for subfeeds, which he said was true, but not to the extent accused (only ~600ft missed total). The award WBS shows $32,382 for equipment rental I'm dubious of all these explanations, but I don't have another one. I can't find the ConEst folder or Accubid file.
