Muna said the Attorney General’s Office and CUC are trying to define what services DCM in relation to the payments it received from the utilities agency.
In an interview with Variety, Muna said he relies on the legal expertise of the AGO in order to settle the DCM contract dispute and avoid lawsuit.
“They’re representing our interest — they understand what we expect of them,” Muna said, referring to the AGO.
In July, CUC terminated its $5.1 million contract with DCM after the company failed to complete the repair work as stipulated in the contract period.
CUC already paid DCM over $400,000.
Engines 5 and 7 at Power Plant 1 have yet to be repaired.
Muna said CUC may undertake the overhaul work while they revisit the two proposals received from two companies interested in repairing the engines.
CUC will take the lead in the overhaul effort and subcontract the other jobs, he said.
For Power Plant 2, Muna said they continue to work with the contractor Commonwealth Industrial Supply Co. Inc. to rehabilitate the plant’s power engines.
“We want to establish a good working relationship with CISCO to see that the contract will go through,” he said.
