Me thinks Mac Logan and company are going to need to get a good lawyer. Graham wants more $$$$ for the peace bridge.
Quote:
Nearly a year after the $24.5-million Peace Bridge opened, city hall is trying to fend off paying extra to the project contractor that spent more than double the time it expected to complete the pedestrian crossing.
It’s an overrun the transportation department has long resisted, and knows council will be extremely reluctant to cover.
Mac Logan, the city’s transportation general manager, confirmed Graham Infrastructure has formally demanded compensation beyond its $17,995,000 “fixed price” contract.

With the City getting into pissing contests with transportation construction firms, how many firms are out there. For example the City looks like they are in a private battle with Aecom over 96th Ave NE & Airport Trail; now its Graham construction and the peace bridge. Who else could bid on the projects if the city disqualifies these two companies because they are in court battle over previous contracts?
