Alabama Governor's Correctional Complex Faces Penalties After Construction Delay
What happened
The Governor Kay Ivey Correctional Complex in Elmore County is reported to be more than 85% complete, though construction is still ongoing. The design-build contractor missed the contractual deadline of October 15. Consequently, contractual liquidated damages totaling about $14.2 million are now due, with an additional nearly $7.1 million due if construction is not finished by November 16. ACIFA has applied withheld funds to cover the initial payment of liquidated damages.
