Deal reached on Aurora VA hospital
Work on a new VA hospital in Aurora is expected to resume next week after a short-term deal was struck between the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs and the prime contractor for the facility.
Last week a federal appeals board ruled the VA had breached its contract with Kiewit-Turner because the agency wanted a facility that far exceeded the roughly $600 million allocated for the project.
According to the Denver Post, one change to the project’s management is the inclusion of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers as an adviser. But as of Wednesday afternoon there remained questions as to how the VA ultimately would pay to finish the facility.
