Construction firm sues over FlyAway center cost
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Tutor-Saliba Corp. has sued the city airports agency, seeking $9.86 million it says is owed for the construction firm’s work on the Van Nuys FlyAway center. The suit alleges Los Angeles World Airports made unreasonable demands for “unnecessary surveying, testing, removal and replacement of concrete structures.”
The firm, which also is constructing the Los Angeles Police Department headquarters, alleged in the lawsuit, filed Friday, that the city mishandled the $33.8-million airport facility project, causing costly delays, and that the city failed to pay for extra work and materials.
The city attorney said he had not seen the suit and could not comment.
