The works were extended by 4 months in total from an original May 2022 completion to September 2022 completion. The cost of the variations is to account for increased time as a result of Covid-19 restrictions which developed through the pandemic and which could not be considered at time of award; and additional unforeseen works as a result of undiscovered archaeology.",
"rationale": "Need for additional works, services or supplies by the original contractor/concessionaire: Noting the limited space at the site and historic importance and significance of Caernarfon Castle, Grosvenor Construction were best placed to deliver the additional elements of the scheme for technical reasons given the relevant systems and information already in place delivering the main contract. Appointing alternative providers would result in an incompatibility with existing equipment, services and installations including (1) setting up separate contractor areas for such things as, welfare facilities, plant and materials storage and access arrangements; and (2) would significantly increase the Health & Safety risk with two main contractors working in the same limited space. Also, the need for some modifications were unforeseen by the Contracting Authority and were brought about by circumstances which could not have been known prior to the tender ie undiscovered archaeology."
