ANCHORAGE — The city of Anchorage is suing a fourth company over problems with the Port of Anchorage expansion project.
The Alaska Dispatch News reported the municipality last week added GeoEngineers Inc. to the companies it's suing.
The others are the construction manager, Integrated Concepts and Research Corp., the port designer, PND Engineers Inc., and CH2M Hill Alaska Inc., the company that acquired Veco Alaska Inc. in 2007.
The municipality claims the companies failed to properly design, analyze and oversee the port expansion. The project has cost $300 million so far and could cost hundreds of millions more to complete.
The city is also suing the federal agency initially responsible for the project, the U.S. Maritime Administration.
The case is scheduled to go to trial October 2015.
