School district settles sidewalk claims |
|
March 29, 2012 |
On March 27, 2012, the Boundary County School
District successfully settled its claims against
Walker Construction and Longwell & Trapp
Architects relating to the arbitration dispute
over the construction of the sidewalks at the
Bonners Ferry High School.
The settlement was achieved through mediation,
and is a full and final resolution to all claims
and issues between the parties. Charles B.
Lempesis was retained by the parties as the
mediator, and the mediation was conducted at his
offices in Coeur d’Alene.
The District agreed to accept $225,000 in
consideration for dismissing its claims with
prejudice. At the conclusion of the mediation,
the Board of Trustees for the District accepted
the offer at a Special Meeting held at the
offices of Mr. Lempesis.
The damaged sidewalks were successfully repaired
in 2010, so this settlement represents the final
step to the resolution of all issues relating to
the High School Project. The District is
satisfied with the settlement terms, and
sincerely thanks all of the members of the
community for their patience and support. |
