Global Partners LP has filed an ethics complaint and requested an investigation into the Massachusetts Department of Transportation’s (MassDOT) decision-making process regarding the highway service plaza project. The company expressed “serious concerns about the conduct” of the state official who helped oversee the decision.
This action escalates Global Partners' dispute over the lost 35-year lease, which was awarded to Applegreen despite Global Partners offering a proposal with significantly higher guaranteed rent and capital improvements. The complaint seeks official review of the procurement process.
The filing of an ethics complaint indicates Global Partners' belief in potential impropriety and its determination to challenge the outcome. The investigation could potentially lead to a re-evaluation of the contract award or other remedies.
