The airports authority in charge of building the Dulles Rail line is starting to grow impatient with contractors who have reported a 194-day delay in building the $2.8 billion first phase of the project. . .
. . . (Dulles Committee Chairwoman Mame) Reiley said she thought Dulles Transit Partners, the contracting group building the rail line and led by Bechtel and URS, may be trying to avoid addressing schedule issues until after bidding on the contract for the second phase of the rail line.
But Reiley will fight that, she said.
"I feel strongly that if it's not resolved, they shouldn't have the opportunity to bid on phase two," she said
Reiley's comments are the first public acknowledgement of tension between MWAA and its contractors.
Pat Nowakowski, MWAA's manager for the project, denied that contractors were dragging out the project purposefully, saying both sides were working cooperatively. Contractors also denied there were problems. . . .
