US Government

Fairfax, VA: (Jul-18-07) Horne International, Inc. brought a lawsuit against the federal government seeking payment for extra work undertaken by Horne Engineering Services, LLC, while under contract at the Plum Island Animal Disease Center in New York. In its suit, Horne claimed that it was due extra payment, owing to additional quantities and changing conditions experienced in 2002 on a project to create wetlands on the site of two wastewater treatment lagoons. Horne Engineering originally filed its complaint against the US Department of Agriculture in August 2006, and subsequently re-filed the suit with the Department of Homeland Security after responsibility for the project changed as the result of government reorganization. In a settlement reached, the federal government agreed to pay Horne Engineering an additional $400,000 as compensation. [BUSINESS WIRE: ENGINEERING CONTRACT]
