Sports park, Hensel Phelps reach agreement on lien payments

GREELEY — A dispute over what contractor Hensel Phelps Construction Co. of Greeley said was $1.5 million in unpaid bills related to the development of the Future Legends Sports Park in Windsor has been resolved.

A court filing in January indicates that both parties, Hensel Phelps and Future Legends LLC, reached a settlement and filed a joint motion asking the court to dismiss the case. Terms of the settlement were not readily available, and calls to attorneys were not returned.

In July 2021, Hensel Phelps sought the payment of unpaid bills after withdrawing from its role as the project’s contractor. It filed liens against the project’s property. The liens were replaced by mechanic’s lien release bonds, after which Hensel Phelps filed suit to collect against the bonds. 

The developer of the park filed a counterclaim in which it said that Hensel Phelps was an investor in the park and was required to make a capital investment in the project. The counterclaim said that Hensel Phelps’ lien was “in an amount significantly greater than any amount due.”

The case filings can be found in Weld County District Court, 2021cv30555 and 2021cv30515.
