Clark Construction Group is suing the city of Miami Beach for $90 million, which represents money the contractor says it is still owed under its contract for the $600 million, 1.5 million-square-foot renovation and expansion of the Miami Beach Convention Center.
Clark alleges that changes and other extra costs add up to more than $70 million and the balance due on the contract, which includes retainage, is $20 million.

According to Construction Dive, city manager Jimmy Morales considers the allegations to be unfounded and said that Clark has still not reached substantial completion nor has the project received a temporary certificate of occupancy, which is why the city placed the contractor in default seven months ago. Some of the other allegations made by Clark include claims that the city did not pay for changes, reimburse Clark for its subcontractors for delays related to 2017's Hurricane Irma, refused to grant appropriate extensions of contract time and unreasonable held retainage, reports Construction Dive.
