The company says it believes 'councillors, the media, and the public' are being 'misled' on issues related to the North Shore Wastewater Plant.
Acciona , the contractor that had been building the North Shore waste-water treatment plant says in a letter the massive cost overruns on the project can be blamed on Metro Vancouver . Catherine Urquhart reports.
Now, amid ongoing litigation, Acciona has sent a pointed letter to Metro Vancouver’s Board Chair Mike Hurley and its directors.Acciona says, in part, “We are concerned that your fellow councillors, the media, and the public may continue to be misled on a number of important issues.”“We offered to implement alternative measures to complete the project in 2025 at a cost of $1.05 billion. This was declined,” the company claims.
“Most of the more than 1,000 modifications to the original project and other challenges … were not caused by Acciona,” it adds.“I think the public wants information made public, but they want it done in a very transparent way.” In July, Metro Vancouver chief administrative officer Jerry Dobrovolny told Global News the contractor “didn’t deliver.”Kahlon says he’ll be meeting with Metro Vancouver later this week.
