Iran seeks bids for two new nuclear plants

DEP seeks bids as Croton project cost rises
The city Department of Environmental Protection confirmed this week that it is now seeking to negotiate a contract with the second-lowest bidder for construction of the Croton Water Treatment Plant in the Bronx at a cost of an additional $200 million.
The first bidder, a joint venture led by the Perini Corp., had bid $1.3 billion, which the city accepted in November. But Perini recently withdrew from the process, a DEP spokesman said. He would not elaborate.
An insider said that the city Department of Investigation had qualms about violations involving Perini's meeting targets for subcontracts with minority- and women-owned business enterprises; the company was convicted in California in 2001 of making fraudulent MWBE claims.
The DEP spokesman says Slattery Skanska, the only other bidder for the Croton plant construction at $1.5 billion, can now choose to accept or decline the work.
