LOS ANGELES : Firm’s Protest Delays Green Line Contract
The Rail Construction Corp. voted Monday to delay awarding a $10-million contract for the construction of a safety and security communications system on the Metro Green Line project.
After receiving a written protest from HSQ Technology of South San Francisco, the commission voted to wait before giving the contract to Mass Electric Construction of Los Angeles, the company that scored highest in the commission’s evaluation.

Vote on Green Line--In Tuesday’s Metropolitan Digest, it was incorrectly reported that the Rail Construction Corporation on Monday had delayed a vote on a security communications system for the Metro Green Line. In fact, the board voted to award the $10-million contract to Mass Electric Construction Co. of Los Angeles.
HSQ Technology complained that it had not received a fair review during the yearlong process, said County Counsel Augustin Zuniga of the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission. HSQ scored the lowest of five companies in the competitive bidding.
