Lawsuit could jeopardize Lordstown sewer project

WARREN — A lawsuit filed by a construction company, if successful, could jeopardize a $10 million sanitary sewer project in Lordstown, the village solicitor says.

Danco General Constructing Inc. of Lordstown filed the complaint Tuesday in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court seeking a restraining order against the village from finalizing a contract with Fabrizi Trucking & Paving Inc. of Valley City, Ohio, to construct a portion of a sanitary sewer.

Danco also wants the court to award it a $1,027,341 contract — one of five on the project — to construct the sanitary sewer lines on the village’s east section. Fabrizi’s bid was $1,194,052.

Lordstown Solicitor Paul M. Dutton said the village will respond to Danco’s allegations.
