Project Developer Involved in Red River Flood Control Project Files New Disputes
A project developer involved in Fargo’s $3.2 billion Red River flood control project is escalating disputes with the city’s Flood Diversion Authority, fighting regulations banning certain structural materials. The Red River Valley Alliance has reportedly submitted up to four new claims against the city, disputing the ban on epoxy-coated rebar in diversion channel structures. John Shockley, counsel for the Diversion Authority, says the developer is making aggressive claims that won’t hold up after review. Shockley and the city pointed to regulations in the contract that specify epoxy-coated rebar be used for structural integrity purposes. It’s likely the dispute will now head to informal arbitration board, and there’s a possibility of civil litigation.
