On-time incentive for KU stadium project sparks debate
Kansas University approved a $300,000 incentive payment to Walton Construction to finish Memorial Stadium press box and suites by September 11. Officials say penalties for late work were too small to deter delays, while the city faced similar issues with the 1995 Lawrence Aquatic Center. The piece discusses whether higher late penalties or early completion bonuses better ensure on-time delivery and minimize revenue losses.
