The Denver Business Journal reports that the recent agreement will cost the VA a total of $234 million, which includes a $157 million payment to Kiewit-Turner for previous costs, along with $50 million for several months of on-site work.
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers will oversee the project and assist in long-term planning for completion of the facility, according to The Wall Street Journal.
