ECH3 Executed Contract Revision WBS
For Executed Contract Revisions, Bid GP% must be maintained. In this case a negative variance was added to the buyout budget in order to compensate for an increase in permit fee coverage.

GP Variance
[!info] "GP%" is margin (see markup-vs-margin).
The job appears to be doing poorly, at current GP variance of -$299,356.
About $93,000.00 profit on a $2,391,378 job (~3% margin, down from 16.4% as bid).
Intend to ask Joel what was missed if he knows, and more generally if he has a strategy for figuring out, between BPM, The Hub, and however many other places we can look.
I doubt very seriously that mismanagement can be blamed for any significant portion of variance that extreme.

Joel attributes the #GP Variance to
- missed Polaris lugs for feeders for one building,
- insufficient budget for equipment rental, and
- 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.
