Hi!
I'm working on a project which is a new office building. It includes underground parking for the building users. The owner, a private developer, only owns the site corresponding to the exact footprint of the building . The streets that are surrounding the building are under the ownership of the municipality. The tricky thing is that the underground parking will extend a little under one of the streets. Therefore, the developer will rebuild the street on behalf of the city after building the underground parking. The street will remain under the municipalitie's ownership.
Should the portion of street that we be rebuilt within the project for the city be included in the project boundary?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Sarah, I think you could go either way on this, relative to the street—include it because it is in the construction scope, or exclude it because it is not under ownership and doesn't support the function of the project building (aside from being public infrastructure).

Thanks Tristan for your answer. We'll try excluding it and see if it is accepted this way.
