Well, they walked for an apparent good reason(s). These are unprecedented times, and, SU as the owner, has the overall authority to waive any potential penalties relative to timelines.  Ephesus is the technological leader in the industry, and has their name on all of these NFL venues, including the new Raider and Rams/Chargers stadiums that's going to have the only one of its kind, latest state of the art fixture, which was also planned for the Dome.  It's really too bad some type of compromise couldn't have been made.

As the stadium sits right now, the crown truss' erection completed, its status is likely no longer a peril relative to safety, etc.  I wonder what SU would've done had the state enforced some type of policy that once the project got to this stage, construction halted until further notice/the pandemic is at the stage where areas are opened back up again, etc?  It would've been quite interesting to see how SU would have treated/handled its GC, Hoyt, relative to same. Since SU has a long standing relationship with Hoyt, and not with Ephesus, I'd bet SU treats them differently.  Relationships matter.

Also, I wonder if Ephesus (Signify) became concerned with the timeline that that agreement signed in January (pre-pandemic, etc.) held them to and saw the writing on the wall so to speak?  Meaning, it's been mentioned throughout this thread in recent months that the erection of the crown truss was behind schedule, even though Sala stated they were still on it.  So, perhaps the contract language relative to dates/timelines, etc. was unlikely to be met in that regard, and Ephesus didn't want to eat the mistakes by the GC/Construction Mgr. that they had no control over?
