Delays plague Mercer Health Center addition contract
Bluefield contractor Elwin Aliff testified that the Mercer County Health Center addition contract was not normal and faced delays beyond his control. He claims the Southern West Virginia Health Council owes his firm over 100000 for work and interest on a 384136 contract, while the council counters that Aliff owes money. Aliff cited late shipments, rock escalation, site access, and council occupancy interference as major causes, noting 85 percent completion when tenants moved in and continued payment delays.
