Electrical Contractor Sues Baylor

April 21, 2015
Energy and Automation, Inc., which worked on Baylor University’s McLane Stadium, is suing the university.

An electrical contractor claims that Baylor University owes more than $250,000 for the contractor's services. Energy and Automation, Inc., which worked on Baylor University’s McLane Stadium, is suing the university. The contractor is seeking at least $257,377 in the lawsuit, filed earlier this month in Waco’s 414th State District Court.

According to the Waco Tribune-Herald, the company’s dispute actually is with Parsons Electric, a Minneapolis company that hired Energy and Automation to work on the new stadium’s audio-video systems from July 2013 to September 2014. But because the work was performed on Baylor property, the contractor filed a lien and the suit against Baylor, which hired Parsons Electric as a subcontractor.

Parsons and Energy and Automation officials are continuing talks in an effort to resolve the dispute, the article said.
