“The percentages referred to in relation to the High Pressure mist suppression system relate to the pre 2014 installation. As a result of the 2014 fire considerable elements of the system were destroyed or damaged. The GSA sought expert advice which indicated that this system was unusable.
“As you would expect the GSA wanted to take advantage of improvements in the technology and install the best system for the building. The installation time for the replacement system in the post 2014 restoration would have been broadly similar irrespective of the type of system commissioned.”
