Clark County has sued another Las Vegas architectural company over construction problems at McCarran International Airport.
The county filed suit this week against Domingo Cambeiro Professional Corp. over a $2.86 million contract involving design work for adding a gate, a pedestrian bridge and associated projects.
The county claims plans and specifications for some of the work contained errors and omissions.
A consultant's report attached to the suit claims the elevation of a bridge was designed 9.36 inches higher than the B Concourse terminal it connected to, causing delays and extra expenses totaling $132,000. Problems with the design of a roofing system also caused delays and extra expenses of $680,000, the consultant found.
"During the course of construction, these errors and omissions prevented contractors from completing construction according to the original plans upon which the contract price was based," the suit alleges.
A message for comment was left Thursday with the president of the company, Domingo Cambeiro.
His company has been involved in numerous development projects since 1970 and has won several awards. Its projects in the Las Vegas Valley over the years include work for the Clark County School District, the College of Southern Nevada, the Clark County Government Center, the Water Reclamation Center and the Las Vegas Convention Center.
This is the second such suit to be filed in two months. In July, the county sued Lendall Mains Architect LLC over problems with construction of McCarran's C Annex Security Checkpoint.
These contracts typically involve subcontractors, whose work the principal architect is responsible for.
