IT E M S UMMARY:
T he P erformance Agreement between the C ity of G eorgetown and W BW S ingle Development LLC –
S eries 201 was agreed upon and exec uted on March 25, 2019, with terms to fulfill all other duties and
obligations as rec ited in the agreement. T he respons ibilities for W BW inc luded the requirement to
cons truct the project with a C ertific ate of O cc upancy issued on or before Dec ember 31, 2020.
In c orres ponding with W BW Engineering, numerous factors c ontributed to not meeting that commitment.
T hes e fac tors inc luded the upheaval in the marketplace due to C O VI D-19, as well as the supply
cons traints that manifested in the cons truction indus try. T here was als o a negotiated purchas e from the C ity
in order to ac hieve approvals to the des ign that HAR C mandated for window openings on the east side of
the building, which otherwis e would not have been allowed due to a c ode rule along property lines .
Additionally, they were required to des ign a s ubstantial stormwater c onveyance s ystem along the Austin
Ave. frontage.
T he unforeseen c hallenges res ulted in c onstruc tion c ompletion and C O issuanc e on S eptember 3, 2021. To
be in c omplianc e with the agreement, an amendment to the date is needed. S taff recommends the date by
amended to completion on or before O c tober 1, 2021.
