Burnaby school officials allege three companies involved in building and installing portables for child-care centres at local schools were negligent and breached contracts with the district; the companies have denied the claims.
The Burnaby school district is suing the architect, engineer and modular building manufacturer over a multi-million-dollar project aimed at setting up child-care centres in portables at local schools.
Phase 2 of the plan called for modular buildings for child-care centres at Stride, Marlborough, Cascade Heights, Rosser, Westridge and Suncrest elementary schools and was to be complete by the end of summer 2020, according to the notice of civil claim. ‘Numerous deficiencies’ The district alleges that, when the modular buildings arrived by summer 2020, some didn’t fit onto concrete footings that had been prepared based on plans provided by Craveiro and Lawson.
The district says part of the agreements also called for the modular buildings to be constructed and delivered so they could be connected in pairs, threes or fours with ramps and stairs, but the portables delivered to the sites couldn’t be used that way without “substantial modifications.” The district says Craveiro and Lawson knew or should have known the City of Burnaby requires structural work to be certified by a Designated Structural Engineer and that Lawson didn’t have the qualification, according to the claim.
The district says it suffered damages as a result negligence and breach of contract on the part of the three firms.
