Denver city and county officials say they are moving quickly to determine exactly what happened and exactly who’s responsible for “tainting” the proposal process on a $233-million expansion of the Colorado Convention Center. The project will add a ballroom and a rooftop terrace, renovate the lobby, and upgrade the center’s technology.
The city shut down the contractor selection process in early December and terminated a $9-million contract with Dallas-based developer Trammell Crow, its program manager on the job, alleging that project documents were wrongly released to one of the contractor finalists. City officials also said that “improper discussions about the bidding process” took place and that project plans may have been altered.
