BILOXI, Miss. -- The Biloxi City Council has canceled its project management contract with Yates Construction for a $36 million minor-league baseball stadium.
It had been planning on bidding by phases but now plans to bid out the entire $36 million project.
City spokesman Vincent Creel tells the Sun Herald (http://bit.ly/1sxU9zg ) that the city has paid Yates about $100,000 on a contract of up to $4 million.
City Administrator David Nichols tells WLOX-TV (http://bit.ly/1g7BiJv ) the bid advertisement will go out shortly and a contractor could be hired by the end of June.
The Huntsville Stars AA is scheduled to start play in Biloxi in April 2015.
Biloxi can be fined $10,000 per game for each home game the stadium is not ready.
