CHARLOTTESVILLE,Va. — City firefighters moved in to the award-winning $14 million Fontaine Avenue fire station more than a year ago, but Charlottesville taxpayers might not be done footing the bill.
The project could cost another $1.6 million under a lawsuit filed against the city by Costello Construction, the Maryland-based contractor that built the 38,000-square-foot firehouse. That amount doesn’t include more than $800,000 in change orders Charlottesville already has paid over the course of what Costello’s company president described as a “prolonged nightmare.”
“We have only filed suit against one other client before in the history of our company and we’ve been around 20 years,” David Costello said.
