payments by value and description per payment made under subtitles (a) “unanticipated additional resourcing incurred by Canberra Metro as a result of risk events occurring” and (b) “other avoided costs”.
Mr Steel: The answer to the member’s question is as follows:
As noted in section 7.4 of the City to Gungahlin Light Rail Project Delivery Report, in April 2019 the ACT Government and Canberra Metro reached a commercial agreement on matters relating to outstanding risk claims and modifications. As noted in section 7.3 of that report, Table 11 provides a breakdown of the Territory's internal apportionment of the total payment to Canberra Metro against risks (and associated claims). In this respect:
(a) “unanticipated additional resourcing incurred by Canberra Metro as a result of risk events occurring” relates to a claim by Canberra Metro that additional costs associated with personnel, equipment and other resources were to be compensated by the Territory under the terms of the Project Agreement.
(b) “other avoided costs” relate to a portion of costs that the Territory has considered would otherwise have been incurred if the claims that were settled were instead disputed. This included an assessment and apportionment of:
• legal costs associated with formally defending the claims that were avoided;
• legal costs of Canberra Metro if Canberra Metro’s claims were successful;
• costs of expert determination;
• the costs of technical experts associated with defending the claims that were avoided; and
• associated agency costs avoided through the dispute resolution process.
