This is where pledges to be transparent ring hollow. Seems pretty strategic to delay sharing these memos (which should not be hard at all to retrieve) till close to, if not after, two evenings of scheduled community engagement. If it isn't going to "unduly burden or interfere with operations" due to it being hard to track down, then please elaborate why it WOULD burden/interfere with operations. Is it because of the content of the memos? If not, why not share them ASAP to avoid situations where people assume it's being deliberately hidden?
Additionally, if you're doing a big project, and you're super tight on money and HAVE to stay within your budget + contingency, your GC/contractor should know they need to clearly communicate anything that comes up that might trigger overruns/change orders. For there to be "no responsive records because invoices haven't been sent" from Bid Group 1, that either means everything is tracking within planned budget OR they're not doing their job to stay in lockstep with CC about expense tracking against planned budgets to ensure no surprises on invoices. But didn't it sound like we already may have been over budget in Group 1 based on CC's comment of "around 2 million" in incurred costs thus far?
