they have been imposed for previously missed deadlines or benchmarks;
(14) make recommendations on how the
Metropolitan Council and Hennepin County can best avoid additional cost
overruns, minimize delays, manage risks, assure sufficient construction
quality, effectively address further changes, and increase public transparency

between the Metropolitan Council and the project's prime construction
contractor and evaluate whether the settlement was necessary and appropriate;
(16) evaluate whether the Metropolitan
Council, vendors, and contractors are adhering to established safety standards,
practices, and protocols in construction, emergency response, operations, and
maintenance; and
(17) perform a cost-benefit analysis of
the project.

this section.
