Within the local underground utilities contractors, Metra is known for not paying anyone and screwing over the small subcontractors. They had this coming for years.
The $150M in the article is not accurate and is probably their "pre-qualification" amount with the City. They probably have closer to $50M in contracts spread across a number of jobs.
The biggest reason they've been disbarred is because they lied to the City repeatedly while the City was investing the MBE/WBE claims. The 7-day payment clause was just the most convenient way for the City to disbar them.
