VA Probes Possible Bungling of Hospital Project

Home » Blog » VA Probes Possible Bungling of Hospital Project

DENVER The Department of Veterans Affairs is forming an investigative board to probe possible misconduct or mismanagement involving the construction of a VA hospital in Aurora.

The VA issued a statement Monday calling the problems with the project “unacceptable.”

The Denver Post reports that on Dec. 17, the Army Corps of Engineers agreed to partner with the VA to take over the management of the project. The decision came almost 10 days after Kiewit-Turner, the contractor, decided to walk away from construction because of cost overruns.

At that time, it was determined that the cost for the center would be more than $1 billion, far more than the original $604 million price tag, and that the VA had failed to meet its contractual obligations.

An interim deal was reached, and Kiewit-Turner resumed construction Dec. 22.
