Metropolitan Transportation Authority officials said they plan to ``rebaseline'' the contract with Parsons-Dillingham, changing what work will be done by the company in the remaining year or so of construction on that leg of the subway. The $6 million will cover the firm's work through August during negotiations on the contract changes. The contract, which had an initial cost projection of about $112 million, would rise to $170.5 million if the full MTA board approves the increase. MTA officials blamed the increase on delays in the project's station construction, unexpectedly high numbers of time-consuming claims by contractors and numerous change orders to the project. ``It's a large amount of money but the construction manager (Parsons-Dillingham) is the one doing all the grunt work,'' said MTA Construction Executive Officer Charles Stark. ``It's very labor-intensive work.'' |
