As of December 7, 2015 an additional payment of $16,950 was paid to MBE contractors, namely Cody Builders. According to information gathered from the weekly update meeting on Tuesday, Limited testing is ongoing, while general construction is very limited to punch-out and some close-out work. The most recent pay app which was signed on 11/11/2015 was modified on 12/8/2015, though it has not been noted as paid by DCW to date.
No additional payments were recorded during the previous week. The pay app was drafter on 11/18/2015 but has not been approved by Arcadis of DCW to date. As a result, payments have been on hold.

It has been suggested that the engineering firms resort to additional legal counsel to resolve ongoing issues regarding lack of payments to lower tier subcontractors.
