Five months after demanding that contractor Tutor Perini pay Broward more than $34 million in damages for costly airport construction delays, ex-county aviation boss Kent George instead wants the county to pay Tutor Perini $18.9 million.
George and new aviation boss Mark Gale will ask Broward commissioners to approve the big payout on Tuesday as part an about-face settlement negotiated by George with the Tutor Perini Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood Venture (TPFLHV).
The proposed settlement would end a bitter, behind-the-scenes fight over who is to blame for numerous pricey construction holdups during the airport’s $800-million south runway expansion project.
George stepped down as aviation director in March and today is a county consultant/negotiator on the matter.
