Demolition, replacement, temporary traffic re-routing, service diversion and upgrades, all the design costs and an $85m contingency. Up to 2018 $24m of the $360m had already been spent on the design and engineering studies and consultancies, so it's less than $360m today.
The demolition and new structure is $96m. The new Pacific Boulevard (including new streets for hospital access) is $59m. Utility works, including upgraded and moved city and third-party utilities is $45m. Remediation of contamination under streets is $21m. Traffic detours and a temporary skateboard park is $10m. That all adds up to $231m. Add in design, planning and public engagement at $44m (with over half already spent) and an $85m contingency takes the total to $360m. Some is expected to be recovered from the private utilities who own the rerouted services, but that's not a given, so the full cost has been budgeted for now.
