Department of Veterans Affairs Deputy Secretary Seeks Aurora VA Hospital Deal
AURORA, Colorado Deputy Secretary of Veterans Affairs Sloan Gibson is coming to Aurora to try to settle a contract dispute after Colorado’s congressional delegation sent a letter urging the agency to come up with a plan to continue construction of Denver’s new VA hospital.
Kiewit-Turner stopped construction after a federal board of appeals ruled the VA breached its contract.
The appeals board says the VA didn’t produce a design that could be built for the contracted $604 million and the company says it could cost more than $1 billion. The board also found that the VA doesn’t have sufficient funds to pay for construction of the entire project as currently designed and has no plans to ask for more money.
