LONGMONT — Less than a month after Milliken-based contractor Hall-Irwin Corp. sued the owner of the new Hilton Garden Inn in Longmont alleging withheld payments related to construction of the hotel, Longmont Harvest Junction Hospitality LLC countersued with allegations that the builder failed to deliver on its contract.
“Hall-Irwin was chosen by Longmont Harvest based on Hall-Irwin’s assurances that it could deliver the project as promised, within budget and in accordance with contractual requirements and Hilton brand standards,” according to the complaint filed this month in Boulder County District Court.
That delivery didn’t occur, the hotelier alleges.
Rather, “during the course of construction of the project, Hall-Irwin was incapable of meeting the contractual requirements of completing the project on time and in a satisfactory manner,” the complaint claims. “This was extremely disappointing to Longmont Harvest, which had paid Hall-Irwin millions of dollars on this project. Longmont Harvest gave Hall-Irwin numerous opportunities to correct and/or cure its material breaches of the contract during the course of construction and beyond, but Hall-Irwin has been and continues to be unable to perform.”
