Further delays on stadium demolition contract
What started as the controversial demolition of a city landmark has developed into a never ending headache for the city.
Pete Anaya, Director of Engineering Services for Corpus Christi says, “We’re constantly contacting them on a daily basis to see what their status is, see how much equipment is out on the site. We’re doing everything we can to make sure they complete the project timely.”
A&R Demolition has fallen even further behind schedule, citing financial restrictions as the cause. This time they say they need an extra thirty to forty five days, and with a fee of $500 for each extra day, they’ll likely be facing even more financial woes.
“When the contract is finished up, we’ll go back and figure all the rain delays and other delays that the contractor is entitled to and adjust that number but currently as it stands it’s 30,000 dollars,” explained Anaya.
