INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Public Transportation Corporation (IPTC) — which operates IndyGo throughout Marion County — is suing AECOM, the architect of the Julia M. Carson Transit Center in downtown Indy.
A complaint filed Friday indicates the IPTC began working with AECOM on the Julia M. Carson Transit Center project in 2013 and 2014. According to the lawsuit, AECOM USA Inc. is a company “engaged in the construction industry as, among other things, an architectural and engineering design firm.”
AECOM’s website indicates the business is headquartered in Dallas.
The work AECOM did for the IPTC pertained to the design and plan for the Julia M. Carson Transportation Center. The IPTC is suing AECOM because the construction drawings, plan and specifications for the project were “inadequate, inaccurate and defective.”
In the lawsuit, the IPTC claims AECOM failed to properly account for the amount of archaeological work necessary to complete the project. In its final design plans, AECOM designated $6,675 for archaeological monitoring.
